Located in northern Michigan, about an hour and a half north of Saginaw and about 45 minutes south of Alpena, Hubbard Lake in Alcona County is known for its bass, trout, walleye, and yellow perch fishing as well as a place for families to escape the city for a week in the summer.
Attractions in and around Lake Hubbard
Hubbard Lake is seven miles wide and two miles long. It's Michigan's second largest freshwater lake and a favorite of vacationers and retirees. Among the many attractions in the area are:
- Fishing – Lake Hubbard is known for its excellent bass, trout, walleye, and yellow perch fishing and as a winter ice-fishing spot. Many rental properties have boating docks and fishing piers. For more fishing opportunities, Lake Huron is only a few miles away.
- Golf – Northern Michigan is known for its many golf courses, and Alcona County is no exception. The area offers dozens of public and private golf courses. One of the best, and most popular, of these is White Pine National Golf Course, in nearby Spruce Michigan.
- Exploring Local History – The Hubbard Lake region is rich in local history. A former lumbering capital, the region still sports remnants of that mid-19th century architecture. Among these is the historic Sturgeon Point Lighthouse on Lake Huron, built in 1869 and one of the oldest lighthouses on the Great Lakes.
- Other Outdoor Activities – In addition to fishing and golf, the Hubbard Lake area offers a wealth of summer and winter sports. Among these are hiking and motorbiking in the summer and snowmobiling and cross-country skiing in the winter. The nearby Huron and Au Sable National Forests offer ample opportunities for all varieties of outdoor sports.
- Just Outside of Town – Lake Hubbard is just a short drive away from other northern Michigan vacation areas, such as Mackinaw Island. The 19th-century resort, with its pillared Grand Hotel, and horse-draw carriages, makes an interesting and educational day excursion from Hubbard Lake.
