Alpena Michigan is a modern city at nature’s doorstep. We’ve turned the volume down and slowed the pace a bit so you can relax, rejuvenate and discover your family and what matters most in life, all over again, in your Sanctuary of the Great Lakes. "I'm still pinching myself that the [Maritime] Heritage Center is a free attraction in Alpena. The displays are well-done and informative. The layout is logical and useful. All in all, well worth an hour-plus visit while in Alpena." -MongoSchwartz, TripAdvisor "Perfect kayaking experience surrounded by nature [Duck Park & Island Park]. View Bald Eagles, Great Blue Heron, swans, ducks, deer, turtles, many other kinds of birds and plant life! So close to town but on the water you sense the serenity and peace of what nature has to offer!!" -Janice B., TripAdvisor < > Learn More About Our Communities 23 23 23 23 65 65 65 65 72 33 33 32 32 32 Sturgeon Point Lighthouse 68 33 Alpena Rogers City Hillman Chippewa Hills Pathway Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary Negwegon State Park Harrisville Onaway Norway Ridge Pathway Little Red Lighthouse Leer Road Sinkholes Fletcher’s Pond Hubbard Lake Long Lake Thunder Bay Island Lighthouse Grand Lake Thompson’s Harbor State Park Ocqueoc Falls & Bicentennial Pathway 40-Mile Point Lighthouse Old & New Presque Isle Lighthouses Rockport State Recreation Area Middle Island Lighthouse Lake Huron CONNECT WITH US E-NEWS SIGNUP VISITOR'S GUIDE view|request © 2021 Alpena Area Convention & Visitors Bureau, All Rights Reserved.
