Ogemaw County, Michigan

Ogemaw Location Map Michigan

Ogemaw County is located in the northeastern part of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula. It’s a place where the forests meet the fields, and the air smells of pine and fresh-cut hay.

The county seat is West Branch, situated in the southwest of the county. Locals fish in the Rifle River and hunt in the Huron National Forest. Winters are long and snowy here.

But when spring comes, it’s like the whole county takes a deep breath and bursts into life. Farmers markets pop up, selling everything from maple syrup to wild mushrooms.
