Company Overview

The Charter Township of Oscoda is a northeast Michigan Lake Huron coastal community with a rich history. For generations, families near and far travel here for rejuvenation and exciting outdoor ventures. Tourism is a significant component of the local economy. The plethora of outdoor activities include beachside/water sports on sparkling Lake Huron, exploring Manistee National Forest, viewing the Northern Lights, and witnessing the home stretch of the Au Sable River Canoe Marathon.
