Welcome to Indian River
The Water and Wood Wonderland!
Indian River, named after the river which
flows through it, is conveniently nestled in the center of the northern
tip of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula and is gifted with some of most
beautiful natural resources you’ll find in the state. About 25 miles
south of the Mackinaw Bridge, north of Gaylord, east of Harbor Springs
and Petoskey, and west of Onaway, Indian River is a place that visitors
of all ages will find many pleasures to enjoy during any season of the
year.
Indian River is the ideal location to boat, fish, hunt, camp, golf,
bike, swim, jog, hike, kayak, canoe, raft, tube, sail, snowmobile, ski,
sightsee, bird watch, mushroom hunt, skate, tour, dine and shop. We are
in the center of Michigan’s longest Inland Waterway, including 3 rivers
(Cheboygan, Indian and Crooked Rivers) and 4 lakes (Mullett, Burt,
Crooked and Pickerel Lakes). Burt and Mullett Lakes are the 4th and 5th
largest lakes in Michigan. Two Blue Ribbon Trout Streams, Sturgeon and
Pigeon Rivers, flow into Burt and Mullett Lakes respectively with the
Sturgeon River being honored as the lower peninsula’s fastest flowing
river. We are surrounded by 180,000+ acres of State Land in Cheboygan
County and a part of the renowned Pigeon River Country State Forest,
105,000 acres where the largest elk herd east of the Mississippi River
roams freely.
Visit our host of outdoor pleasures including 52 acres of sports and fun
at Cooperation Park, 625 feet of sandy beachfront at DeVoe Public Beach,
miles of trails in Wildwood State Park, 62 miles of crushed limestone on
the Gaylord to Mackinaw Trail, 100+ miles of snowmobile trails, 360 feet
of boardwalk along the Indian River, or enjoy the world’s largest
crucifix (55 feet tall) at the National Shrine of The Cross in The
Woods.
