What To Do
Support Local Businesses and Restaurants
Au Gres is a small town just south of Tawas, MI. It is an easy 2 hour drive north of the Metro Detroit area, right on the shores of Lake Huron. Downtown Au Gres includes a cute splash pad and play area for the kiddos! Our beach is in a cove of the Saginaw Bay, a quiet, calm part of Lake Huron. It is also very shallow and sandy, making it the ideal beach for children. Walk along the shore and look for Petoskey stones or on a clear day look across the bay to the Caseville wind mills in the "thumb".
Supporting local businesses is important for many reasons. It helps to support our community, contribute to the local economy, offers unique products and services, reduces or impact on the environment but reducing packaging, and helps to build strong community ties. Come enjoy picking blueberries, visiting local farms, wineries, Charity Island, hitting up the Sanganing Casino and more!
