Ogemaw County is a developing community located in the northeast central section of Michigan's lower-peninsula. Until 1871, the county was a virtual wilderness. The building of the railroad and later the I-75 expressway, brought both settlers and employment to the county. Today Ogemaw County can be described as a year-round recreational Mecca. More than 100 lakes and 381 miles of rivers and streams have earned Ogemaw County the reputation as a water lover's paradise.
