THE MAJESTIC AUSABLE RIVER
The AuSable River provides one of the most diverse and beautiful destinations to enjoy in our state. This State of Michigan designated “blue ribbon trout stream” is ideal for fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking or floating. Below you will find an access map providing launch locations along approximately 120 miles of waterway from Grayling all the way to Lake Huron.
BIG LAKE FISHING

With its wide-open waters, sandy shoreline, and easy access from town, Oscoda is a favorite launch point for anglers chasing everything from walleye and lake trout to salmon and steelhead. Mornings often start with the sun rising over the horizon, painting the lake in shades of gold, while boats head out from the mouth of the Au Sable River into the deep, cool waters beyond. Whether you’re an experienced fisherman looking for trophy catches or a casual angler hoping for a relaxing day on the water, Oscoda’s stretch of Lake Huron offers some of the best freshwater fishing in Michigan.
