Tawas Michigan.
Tawas
Point helps define Tawas Bay which has shaped the
history and development of the twin cities of Tawas City
and East Tawas. Though they share a name, the
coast of Tawas Bay and close proximity, these two towns
have distinct personalities. The breathtaking
beauty of this region brings visitors from far and wide
in all seasons.
Festivals are going on year round and include participation in the Lighthouse Festival, winter ice swimming and Perchville which is one of the longest running festivals in northern Michigan.
The historical museum is full of treasures. Tawas Point Lighthouse has been a fixture for 100+ years. There is even the story of the Ghost of La Salle on a local lake.
While everyone who visits is delighted by the beauty of Lake Huron and the Sunrise Coast, there is another attraction in this region that adds another whole dimension, the trails.
West of town are several trail systems
for hiking and cross country skiing. The Hoist
Lakes Trail System will offer a challenge for even the
expert adventure skier. There are 10,000 acres and
over 20 miles of excellent trails. The
Corsair
Trail System is in Silver Valley within the Huron
National Forest. The great thing is the forest
itself. The beauty of the snow-laden trees and the
distant vistas is unparalleled. The Highbanks
Trail System follows the AuSable River making it one of
the most scenic in the midwest.
