We are beginning to see the first signs of fall in Oscoda. Touches of color adorn the trees, pumpkins are ready for harvest, the evening chill calls for a cozy sweatshirt, and we are looking forward to evenings by a crackling fire. It’s time to make your plans to head north to Oscoda, your perfect destination for a relaxing fall getaway.
Fall Color Tour
Michigan’s favorite pastime of the fall season is a fall color tour mapped to marvel at the full spectrum color of autumn. Peak color is generally seen sometime in the first 3 weeks of October in our region. And although we cannot set our clocks to peak viewing time, the fall season has so much to offer, anytime you choose will hit the mark.
We have the perfect route to create the fall color tour you seek. Following River Road from downtown Oscoda west toward the Huron National Forest, you will witness vivid hues against a deep green backdrop. Along the way, you won’t want to miss the most scenic picture spots on the trails of our region: Foote Pond Overlook, Lumberman’s Monument Visitor’s Center, and Iargo Springs. Each provide a unique perspective of the beauty of the Oscoda area.
Heading back into town, make your way to Desi’s on River Road, where you can enjoy Mexican food favorites in this family-friendly, locally owned restaurant. It is the perfect place to fill up after a fun fall day exploring.
Fall Golf
Fall is the perfect time to get out on the links, and Oscoda has the perfect spot to get in your last round before the winter season. Lakewood Shores Golf Club offers 72 holes on 4 courses all in one location. With both onsite dining and lodging, you might find this to be the perfect destination for your fall golf getaway.
Trail Time
The vivid colors of the fall season provide the perfect backdrop for a hike in the woods. No matter the size of trail adventure that you seek, the Eagle Run Trails are a perfect destination for a casual hike or bike ride. This 4.2-mile trail system is segmented to 3 looped trails, creating a simple way to build an adventure full of scenic views in a beautiful natural setting.
Fish the AuSable
The majestic AuSable River invites you to try your hand at fly fishing and welcomes back the avid anglers that flock to our region for one of the best fishing seasons of the year. Following the riverbanks of the world-class AuSable River, you will find many spots to cast a line for trout, salmon, walleye, and perch.
Our AuSable River map outlines fishing access spots, boat launches, and campsites to stay along the way. Let Oscoda be your next destination for a fall fishing adventure to remember.
