Arenac County, Michigan
Michigan’s lower peninsula is shaped like a mitten, and Arenac County sits right where the thumb meets the rest of the hand.
This small county, home to just over 15,000 people, packs a surprising punch when it comes to outdoor adventures. It’s got miles of Lake Huron shoreline, perfect for beachcombers.
Agriculture is big here. Sugar beets and corn dominate the fields. But it’s not all rural charm. The Saganing Eagles Landing Casino brings a touch of excitement, especially on weekends.
