Arenac County, County seat in Michigan, United States
Arenac County encompasses 1,763 square kilometers of diverse terrain, including extensive shoreline along Saginaw Bay of Lake Huron and multiple river systems.
The county's establishment in 1883 occurred during Michigan's lumber industry peak, with sawmills and timber operations driving initial economic development across the region.
Local festivals throughout Arenac County celebrate the heritage of Native American communities and early European settlers who shaped the region's development.
Residents and visitors can access multiple boat launches, fishing spots, and recreational facilities along the Rifle, Au Gres, and Pine Rivers throughout the year.
The name Arenac combines 'arena' and 'ac', referring to the sandy terrain that provided stable ground for settlement in this Michigan territory.
