The Oscoda-AuSable area is known for its abundant waterways, quaint downtown, family-friendly neighborhoods and natural surroundings.
It's also the place where legends are made. In 2006 the Michigan Legislature declared Oscoda the "official home of Paul Bunyan." Resident Ed Glotfelty said the proclamation recognizes Oscoda as the literary home for the giant legendary logger based on the fact that the first printed story about him was written by Oscoda Press writer James MacGillivray in 1906.
Glotfelty, a history buff and man of sizable stature himself, portrays the lumberjack during the annual Paul Bunyan Festival, set in 2009 for September 18, 19 & 20. Events include a classic antique car show, children's activities, a Lumberjack Show and a crowd-awing Chainsaw Carving Championship with participants coming from across the nation.
Oscoda-AuSable combines economic opportunity with four seasons of recreation, creating a unique spot on the Sunrise Side, where the AuSable River and Lake Huron meet. AuSable, site of the first settlement established in Iosco County in 1848, is now a modern zoned community, mindful of it's heritage while possessing a vision for the future. A destination for tourists, families, and retirees alike, offering a healthy dose of Midwestern lifestyle.
