| Visit our sunrise coast! |
Arenac County - the gateway to the Huron Shores Heritage Route. Start your trip up the Sunrise Coast with a stop at the historic Standish Depot & Welcome Center. Take time to explore Arenac County as you embark on your trip up the Heritage Route. Make the 10 mile boat trip to Charity Island in Saginaw Bay, a 222-acre island that is part of the Michigan Islands National Wildlife Refuge. Canoe the numerous rapids on the Rifle River, one of the Lower Peninsula's fastest. Fishing, birding, and wildlife watching opportunities abound. From historic school houses to family-friendly parks to the Saganing Eagles Landing Casino, Arenac County is the perfect beginning to your Huron Shores adventure!
