Destination Oscoda Announcing New Features Bookmark our site as we are launching some exciting new features for the community in August! Remember to accentuate the positive and the entire community benefits. We are pleased to announce that development of new features will begin monthly in August.

Our Story

Oscoda is an unincorporated community in the state of Michigan located on the northern side of the AuSable River where it enters Lake Huron. The Community of AuSable is on the other side of the river.

The state of Michigan has designated Oscoda as the official home of Paul Bunyan due to the earliest documented publications in the Oscoda Press in 1906.

Destination Oscoda was born out of an idea that we should “accentuate the positive” in our presentation of the community and the area. We hope you enjoy our website as well as the connected social media that contribute to Destination Oscoda.
