WELCOME!

To Big Bay, Powell Township,

And the Huron Mountains,

In Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula.

  We're happy you've chosen this area to visit and we'll do our best to make your stay pleasurable. We offer our hospitality and the many sights and recreational facilities in the area. If you enjoy hiking, boating, camping, swimming, hunting, fishing, skiing, snowmobiling, snow shoeing, or just watching the waves and listening to the wind - you've come to the right place.

  You'll find that quiet contemplation in the sepulchral silence of an ageless forest can restore one's soul. The sudden rise of a brook trout, the solid strike of a pike, the smell of wood smoke and coffee, all are a part of this land. The deer move like shadows through the trees. Partridge explode beneath your feet. An Eagle circles high overhead. The wind comes clean and fresh across the expanse of the "Big Lake" and sighs contentedly through the pines.  Enjoy the land the way it was created. Kick your shoes off!  Relax! We're glad you came.
