Cheboygan County, on the north end of the Huron Shores Heritage Route, is blessed with gorgeous coastal areas, vast inland forests and waterways, and rich heritage. Bike on the 62-mile North Central State Trail past sparkling inland lakes and along the Lake Huron shoreline to Mackinaw City. Float down the 38-mile inland waterway from Lake Huron to Crooked Lake. Visit one of Cheboygan’s many lighthouses. Experience living history at Historic Mill Creek Discovery Park and Colonial Michilimackinac. Take in the beautiful vista of the Mackinac Bridge, the north entrance to the Heritage Route. Visit the harbor town of Cheboygan on the banks of Lake Huron and the Cheboygan River. Spend the day at the 100+ shops in Mackinaw City. White, fluffy snow is plentiful on the hundreds of miles of groomed snowmobile and ski trails. Discover hidden treasures both on the coast and inland as you explore all four seasons in Cheboygan County during your up north experience on the Huron Shores Heritage Route.
