Sanilac County, Michigan

Sanilac Location Map Michigan

Michigan’s thumb has a hidden gem. That’s right, it’s Sanilac County. This part of the Great Lakes State hugs the western shore of Lake Huron. Forests and farmland dominate the Midwestern charm here.

Port Sanilac’s historic lighthouse has been guarding the coastline since 1886. Locals swear by the county’s fresh produce, especially its famous sugar beets and navy beans.

The county has small towns like Lexington and Croswell that ooze character. Just don’t ask the locals to point out their hometown on their hand because they might need both to show you this thumb-tastic county.
