VISIT THE AU SABLE RIVER

The stunning Au Sable River is only a few miles from the resort and according to the DNR it is a major tributary to Lake Huron. It is home to many species of fish such as bass, pike, brown trout, walleye, perch, sunfish, steelhead and salmon. There are several overlooks that feature breathtaking views of the river, especially in the fall. Take a tour on the Au Sable River Queen or schedule a Rollway's canoe trip and experience the beauty of nature up close - you may even see wildlife in the woods!

LUMBERMAN'S MONUMENT & IARGO SPRINGS

Located in a forest that was heavily logged in the second half of the 19th-century, Lumberman's Monument stands about 14 feet tall in tribute to all of the loggers in the industry. The park is open year-round at no charge to visitors. It features pathways that have exhibits and signs, a visitor's center, and sand dunes that lead to the Au Sable.



Not far away, located on the high banks of the Au Sable River is Iargo Springs. Its observation deck provides a perfect panoramic view of the river. Follow the stairway down through the wildflowers and old-growth hardwoods to the natural springs, two of which have dams. There is a boardwalk, resting areas, and interpretive signs. See who can get to the top of the stairs the fastest and count them all on the way!

WICKER HILLS GOLF COURSE

Schedule your desired tee time for this beautiful public 18-hole golf course. It is a full-service facility that offers a pro shop and multiple tee distances that caters to players of all ages and skill level. They are located off M-65 in Hale which is about an 8-minute drive from the resort.

HALE AREA EVENTS

Hale is a town located 11 miles South of Jose Lake Store & Resort. Within the Iosco County Fair Grounds located here local businesses host the Iosco County Fair, Michigan Mud Jam in the summer, Balloon Fest in the early fall and Winterfest around January.

SHOPPING

Walk the downtown of East Tawas while you window shop and enjoy the sights and sounds of Lake Huron. It’s about a 30-minute scenic drive from the resort but has some of the cutest shops. If you’d like more of a city feel, head about 40-minutes in the other direction to West Branch. There is a small downtown area but it is also known for the outlet shopping.
