Swimming
The inviting clear waters of Hubbard lake won’t disappoint your Michigan vacation water activities. You’ll find our lake front getaway, with no muck or weeds, consisting of pebbles and sand, turning into an all hard sand bottom 25 feet from shore.

Boating
Boaters, you’ll have plenty of miles of shoreline to explore along the picturesque landscape of Hubbard Lake.

Hunting
Deer hunting and small game hunting represent a very special time of year here. The seasonal color changes to embrace, the undisturbed natural beauty of the forest to sit and ponder, the peacefulness of uninhabited human spaces! It’s a quiet time of year around here to do a Michigan Getaway, from it all! Thousands of acres of federal land to hunt with very good deer, turkey and small game populations.
Golfing Getaway
Golf fans I’d be amiss if I did not give it some attention. There are several nearby golf courses within 30 minutes. The White Pine National Golf Club is one. Mind you I am not a golfer, but it has national in its title, so it might be worthy to check out, aside its only 15 minutes away. Back Nine golf course, I tried it. Why, because the name says it all. Great 9 hole beginners course where I felt right at home…..comfortable. Uninhibited environment, move along at your pace……nice place to get the kids and wife in golf without embarrassing anyone!
Visit Alpena
A short 25 minute drive to the North will take you to the city of Alpena. It’s a city rich in maritime heritage, with many arts and cultural opportunities.
