BEACHES & PARKS

Offering the finest in peace and serenity in Northern Michigan, AuSable, Oscoda and Greenbush have more than 20-miles of pristine, sandy beaches along the beautiful Lake Huron. Wonderful beaches can also be found on the famous AuSable River, Cedar Lake or Van Etten Lake.

Whether it’s the public beach scene on Lake Huron which gives children fun playground activities and safe shallow water depths… or places to launch a watercraft and take advantage of the warm water temperatures and exciting sand hills along one of our inland lakes… or the tranquility of your own private beach where you can experience the most breathtaking sunrises while staying at one of our lodging facilities… you’ll find Oscoda a place worth returning to year after year.

In Oscoda, it’s not just a change of pace… it’s a way of life!
