Huron Forest National Park



Huron Forest is a National Park located on the North-Eastern side of the Michigan Peninsula, 200 miles north of Detroit.

Geography
The park is 437,287 acres wide and mainly composed of Jack Pine trees. The dry, sandy soil and very flammable needles of the pine trees make the area extremely prone to forest fires.

Alcona Lake is the only larger source of water, and it along with the Au Sable River outlet are popular camping and fishing destinations.

The park has several miles of off-road trails that are a popular attraction for off-road cyclists and motorists.



Alcona Park Camping
Located along the shore of Alcona Lake, the camping is made up of the main campsite and several lodges along the Au Sable River. The campsite has a combined office and general store, a small gas station, and a single residential home. The Camping is owned by the Norwood Family.

Glennie
The only township in Huron Forest, located 5 miles from Alcona Lake. Has a Post-Office, Hardware Store, General Store, the Glennie Tavern, the Wolfs Den Diner, a Library, an Ice-Cream Parlor, a Gas-Station, a Methodist Church, and a Seventh Day Adventists Church.
