If you're an avid angler, then you already know: The Au Sable River in Michigan is hands-down one of the best trout streams in the world. This mighty river starts north of Grayling, Michigan, and flows for about 100 miles before emptying into Lake Huron here in Oscoda. It provides excellent opportunities for both novice and experienced fly fishermen to catch a variety of trophy fish, including brown trout, rainbow trout, brook trout, steelhead and salmon.
Birdwatching is a fascinating hobby — a great way to connect with nature, relax and appreciate the beauty of birds in their natural habitat. Northeast Michigan, along the shore of Lake Huron, is a natural birding hot spot in the spring, as migrating birds follow the shoreline to summer nesting sites. Plan a getaway with us at Huron House this spring for your chance to see songbirds, water birds and raptors as they make their way north.
At Huron House, we love to connect our guests with vacation adventures they might not otherwise try — things like sailing, kiteboarding and sport fishing. If you've never been horseback riding, you should plan a visit to Triple L Trail Ranch in Tawas City during your next getaway to the Sunrise Side of Michigan. This horse ranch offers guided trail rides that will take you through some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the region.
