East Tawas, a resort community on Tawas Bay, offers opportunities for exploring the woodlands of nearby Huron-Manistee National Forests. Fishing is good, particularly for perch, salmon, trout and walleye. Recreational opportunities also are available at Tawas Point State Park. The grounds offer scenic views, bird-watching opportunities (especially during spring and fall) and a lighthouse that began operating in 1876. Learn More...
