HISTORY (Courtesy of Antrimcounty.org)
The first known settler to venture into Antrim county was
Abraham C. Wadsworth, a native of Connecticut, who reached
the Grand Traverse Region in 1846. A year later, he brought
his wife and family, and eventually settled near the present
site of the Elk Rapids Town Hall.
START OR MOVE YOUR BUSINESS:
Beyond our outstanding business and entrepreneurial advantages,
Northern Michigan is a great place to live and play.
Long known for unparalleled natural beauty, our region is
abundant with friendly, hometown atmospheres; exceptional
schools, outstanding health-care, nationally acclaimed
arts, cultural and historic facilities; endless four-season
recreational opportunities, and quaint downtowns bursting
with renowned shops and award-winning restaurants.
These are just a few of the many amenities that attract and
retain quality employees and working families, and provide
an unequaled standard of living.
In today’s marketplace, business no longer needs urban
roots to succeed. Modern technologies such as high speed
Internet and wireless broadband are connecting small-town
life to big-time business.
The unorganized county of Meguzee was created in 1840, and
the name was changed to Antrim in 1843. In 1863 the Legislature
organized Antrim County, attaching the unorganized
counties of Kalkaska, Crawford and Ostego, at the same time
the name of the town of Meguzee was changed to Elk Rapids,
the county seat.
In 1879 the county seat was moved to a tract of land in the
geographical center of the county. Originally the post office
at this point was called Keno, but was later renamed Bellaire,
because of the town’s clean air. The Court House was built in
1905. The present county building was occupied in 1978.
Torch Lake was called Was-Wah-gonink, or “lake of the torches”
by the local Indians, reference being made to the use of
torches in the spearing of whitefish and trout.
The first birth, death, and marriage records on file in the County
Clerk’s office are dated 1867, the minutes of the first meeting
of the Board of Supervisors are recorded on October 12, 1863,
the first election was held on April 6, 1863, when a total of 66
votes were polled.

Alden
On the southeastern shore of scenic Torch
Lake lies the quaint Village of Alden. With
a population of 125 (according to the 2010
census) that number grows substantially
during the summer months with visitors
drawn to the community “Where Neighbors Meet.”
As it was more than a century ago — when people boarded
the “Resorter” train bound for Alden — those “neighbors”
come from near and far to embrace the hidden gem of Antrim
County. And while the rails may be gone, the restored
Alden Depot remains as a landmark tribute to the village’s
past and enduring character.
Helping enhance that character are the town’s newest
attractions: a 13-foot lighthouse, which not only stands
as an aesthetic addition to the picturesque shoreline,
but also serves as an easily visible point of reference for
boaters; and a hand-built Veteran’s Memorial that honors
those who have given their service to the country,
state and community — which includes military personnel
as well as law enforcement, firefighters and EMS personnel
— who protect and safeguard the community.
From quaint shops on the east side of town to the Depot
Museum, lighthouse and Memorial nestled on the south
side of the village, Alden is filled with unique places to admire
and explore.
6
Thanks to the community-minded Alden Volunteers and Downtown
Alden Business Association, the village is never without a bevy of
activities during the warmer months. Beginning with the popular
Strawberry Festival on Father’s Day each June, the summer season
continues with the weekly Alden Strolls featuring live entertainment
and a farmers market each Thursday, followed by Alden Days, the
Classic Car Show and Art Fair in August. The celebrations wrap up
with a colorful harvest festival in the fall.
From water and recreation to charming shops and events, Alden
beckons to all who savor the beauty of northern Michigan.

SHANTY CREEK GOLF: BETTER THAN PAR
by Chris Hale
Visit any of the Midwest pre-season golf shows and it’s apparent:
Golfers love Shanty Creek Resort. Having four courses at
one location provides variety, and having two of Michigan’s
Top 20 ranked public courses provides the quality they seek.
The legendary Arnold Palmer helped introduce northern
Michigan to the golfing world when The Legend at Shanty
Creek opened in 1985. Since then, scores of course architects
have chosen the glacier-carved terrain of northern Michigan
to sculpt now-classic courses. One of those architects is Tom
Weiskopf, whose Cedar River course at Shanty Creek has been
among the state’s most renowned and regarded courses since
its introduction in 1999 — including a spot in Rolex’s list of
the “Top 1,000 Golf Courses in the World.”
“Our reputation among the state’s Who’s Who in golf is a
badge we wear proudly,” says Mike Mooney, Shanty Creek’s
Director of Golf. “That pride is evidenced in our commitment
to exemplary course conditions, guest service, and overall
value.”
Beyond the quality of Shanty Creek’s golf courses is where
golfers realize that value. Within Shanty Creek are hundreds
of lodging options, plus on-and off-property dining, complimentary
transportation into downtown Bellaire, and even
more recreation off-property for boating and mountain biking.
The Chain of Lakes and the Village of Bellaire have created
so many additional ways for golfers to make a long weekend
much more enjoyable. That said, many golfers just want to
play unlimited golf day after day after day, and at Shanty
Creek, that’s certainly an option too.

Bellaire
Talk to someone that has visited the Bellaire
area and they will tell you it holds a special
place in their heart. Whether it is their firsttime
boating on Torch Lake or downhill skiing
at Shanty Creek, memories come home with
you after your first Bellaire experience. Drawing families
to return year after year, Bellaire becomes home
away from home.
Escaping up north has many meanings. For some, it
is relaxing at the lake, while others enjoy the thrill of
mountain biking, off roading, or catching a trophy walleye.
Generations reconnect over evening campfires,
boating adventures or picking fruit from the many orchards
in Antrim County. We welcome you to experience
the Bellaire area.
The village is surrounded by glacier-carved hills
and steep valleys, centrally located on the Chain
of Lakes, connecting 75 miles of waterway running
through the county.

Several of the larger lakes — such as Torch and Elk — are considered
among the most beautiful in the world, and the region has
long been a favorite destination for boaters, fishing enthusiasts
and golfers. After a day on the water, golf course, trails, or ski hill
— enjoy a variety of family-friendly and gourmet restaurants, grab
a glass of locally produced beer, cider or wine, or visit area farm
markets and u-picks to take home a taste of northern Michigan.

The peaceful Intermediate River runs through downtown Bellaire,
which offers unique shops, a movie theater and picturesque park.
Stay at one of the numerous cottages, resorts, Bed & Breakfasts,

HIKING
When we think hiking, it’s more than just lacing up and going
for a walk. It’s about discovering the world around us: a beautiful
flower, a scenic vista, or a bird feeding its babies. Antrim
County has a bounty of scenic tails waiting to be discovered.

BIKING
Head to Northern Michigan for some of the best trail riding in
the state.
The Bellaire area is a bike-friendly community offering trails
for all levels of expertise. Downtown Bellaire offers bike racks
and a local bike shop, Paddles & Pedals, for all your needs.
Experience the Glacial Hills Pathway and Natural Area — discover
why it is one of the Midwest’s premier trail destinations!
Just minutes from downtown Bellaire, Glacial Hills Pathway
features 750 acres which make up a combined trail system
well-suited for hiking, biking, cross country skiing, and wildlife
viewing. Located just outside of the Village of Bellaire,
the successful protection of this land coupled with an exciting
trail system developed by experts from Michigan Mountain
Biking Association (MMBA) has created one of the most
sought after riding and trail running experiences in Michigan.
Whether you are a novice wanting to try something new or an avid
trail user, there is something for everyone at Glacial Hills.

GLACIAL HILLS
The almost 800 acres of land that house the 31.5 miles of Glacial Hills
trail span 3 governmental jurisdictions — Antrim County, Forest Home
Township and the Village of Bellaire. The three governments and land conservancy
co-manage Glacial Hills through a joint recreation board named
The Friends of Glacial Hills (est. June 2015) with members appointed from
each agency and 2 members at-large. Friends of Glacial Hills is a not for
profit joint recreation board and our meetings are open to the public. We
manage the Pathway and the 3 trailheads and rely 100% on the support of
our users and community with donor funding and volunteer maintenance.
Without the community’s support, Glacial Hills would not exist!
Mountain biking at Glacial Hills can best be described by the 3 “f’s” —
fast, flowy and fun. All 31.5 miles have been professionally designed and
carefully built to provide the most enjoyable experience possible. Even
better, all riders can find appropriate and fun trail that meets their skill
level. While Glacial has some impressive elevation changes for the Midwest
(several loops have high points more than 400 foot above the trailhead),
the sustainable design “hides” the climbing by incorporating flat
rest zones and even some shorter downhill sections. As an example, one
stretch of trail takes two miles to ultimately climb 300 feet and includes 5
downhill sections on the way up.

GRASS RIVER NATURAL AREA
Grass River Natural Area is a 1,492 acre nature preserve surrounding
the Grass River, located in the heart of Antrim County.
Along with the beautiful views of Grass River, we also offer
seven miles of well-maintained trails including 1.5 miles of
boardwalk floating above northern fen and cedar wetlands.
With all of these natural features, Grass River Natural Area offers
visitors an outdoor, living laboratory to explore and learn.
The Grass River Center is open year-round, offering a comfortable
learning environment for public programming, school
field trips, camps, and more.
HUNTING
No matter where you are in Michigan, you can find public
hunting land. Home to several game species including
deer, bear, turkey, waterfowl and small game, check the
Michigan DNR website for information about restrictions
and public hunting land.

PADDLING CHAIN OF LAKES WATER TRAIL
CHAIN OF LAKES WATER TRAIL
The Chain of Lakes is a highlight to our region and it is no wonder. These connected lakes are diverse paddling
opportunities on some of Northern Michigan’s clear pristine lakes. The Chain of Lakes Water Trail is one of only
eight state-designated water trails and the only water trail in Northern Michigan. This non-motorized water trail
has over 80 miles of routes to explore and something for all types of paddlers.
The Upper Chain is made up of smaller lakes and is a great experience for beginner paddlers. Paddle through a
mile of protected shoreline, check out an island, or just enjoy the calm and quiet of paddling through the crystal
waters. You can begin, end or pass through the three lakeside communities of Ellsworth, Central Lake, and
Bellaire where you will find food, camping, and all the other amenities you need to make your trip complete.
The Lower Chain includes larger lakes like Torch Lake and Elk Lake for experienced paddlers looking for an adventure.
Explore the serene Grass River Natural Area, find a sunken ship, or just enjoy the turquoise waters of
Torch Lake. In Bellaire, Alden, and Elk Rapids you will find all you need to enjoy your time on the water.
While you are here, join Paddle Antrim for a local paddling class or event on the water. For more information on
the Chain of Lakes Water Trail, classes/events or local rentals go to www.paddleantrim.com.

Central Lake
Photos byChris Delange
The Village of Central Lake is situated in the
heart of northern Michigan’s Chain of Lakes.
As of the 2010 census, there were 952 people
residing in the village.
Besides scenic waterways and friendly businesses,
Central Lake offers an array of recreational activities. As
a year-round vacation destination, it welcomes boaters,
kayakers, skiers, campers, snowmobilers, hunting and
fishing enthusiasts, and all who seek a peaceful getaway.
Central Lake features a picturesque modern campground
at Thurston Park, which includes 47 campsites, a playground,
a boat launch and docks.
The area’s Chain of Lakes ecosystem is divided into the
Upper and Lower Chains with six lakes each, providing an
abundance of water for all lake enthusiasts. In and outside
of the village, there are abundant biking and hiking
opportunities. Torch Lake, said to be one of the world’s
most beautiful lakes, is only three miles away.
Those wondering about air travel, Torchport and Antrim
County airports are both less than 10 miles from the village,
and Traverse City’s Cherry Capital Airport is just 45
minutes away.
Summer events in Central Lake include the Chamber’s annual
Car Show, craft fairs and the area’s largest Fourth of
28
July Parade. In addition to the parade, the holiday celebration
includes a chicken barbeque, bazaar and strawberry shortcake
extravaganza. Fireworks top off the activities at dusk to
conclude a fun-filled family day.
Central Lake is described as “an ideal spot to vacation, live
or grow a business.” Visitors traveling through the community
will discover its unique beauty and “Turn of the Century”
charm — an ideal place to call home.
Central Lake is also home to a diversity of people and professions.
According to residents, “There is a strong sense of
community in our village, and ties to the Central Lake Public
Schools are strong.”

MANCELONA BASS FESTIVAL
CELEBRATES 65TH
After taking a year break due to the
COVID19 pandemic, the sounds of
carnivals, laughter, music, parades
and fun will once again fill the air in
our communities. In Mancelona, the
annual Bass Festival will run over Memorial Day week-end,
May 27-31, 2021, a week earlier than its usual date.
The Bass Festival was created by the Liars Club, a group of
men who got together to talk fishing, and often called each
other out for telling tall tales of the ‘big one that got away.’
For most of its years, the festival included a fishing tournament,
but Department of Natural Resources laws changed
and affected the way the contest is now held.
While the event pays tribute to the popular fish species, today’s
festival is packed to the gills with fun for the whole
family. Events include a carnival, flea market, crafters fair,
entertainment, parades, car show, games for the kids and
more. The parade is set for Saturday, May 29, 2021 downtown
Mancelona. Most activities take place at Palmer Park,
on the village’s south east side.
Current State and Health Department COVID safety regulations
will be enforced to maintain a compliant event.

Mancelona
Photography by Joanie Moore
The Village of Mancelona is situated along the busy
US-131 corridor on the east side of Antrim County,
inland from the captivating chain o’ lakes. It is
home to some of the region’s key outdoor events,
rewarding the locals with many opportunities to greet visitors
and extend friendly hospitality.
The Township, and later the Village, took its name from the
daughter of the first settler to locate at the site of the town.
Mancelona Andress was the daughter of Perry Andress.
Mancelona came here with her parents in 1869 when she
was four years old. The Village of Mancelona organized and
the first Village Council met April 18, 1889.
Mancelona has maintained momentum and continues
to see progress with development and growth. Investors
have purchased abandoned and distressed properties,
restoring them into housing and economic opportunities.
Explore131north.org was launched following several years
of studies, planning and meetings with community leaders
from Cadillac to Petoskey, including Mancelona. The
Website focuses on communities along the U.S. 131 North
corridor, highlighting each of the area’s assets. Decals can
be ordered from the Website, free of charge.
Winter is a favorite season for those who love outdoor recreation.
Snowmobilers arrive by the thousands, navigating the
miles of meticulously groomed trails that wind through scenic
Jordan River and Jordan Valley, Deadman’s Hill, and areas
around Lakes of the North and Alba. Competitive snowmobile
drag-race events are held throughout winter as snow
conditions permit. Shanty Creek Resort has three properties
for those who love to ski and snowboard.
The annual White Pine Stampede is a premiere point-topoint
ski race held each year the first Saturday in February.
Volunteers from Mancelona and Bellaire work check-points
along the scenic trail, providing moral support and encouragement
to participants right up to the finish lines of the
10K, 20K and 50K events. Races begin in Mancelona and end
at Schuss Mountain and Shanty Creek resort villages.
Village of Mancelona holds a fishing day for the trout season
opener on the last Saturday in April. Johnson’s Pond
32
is stocked with trout, and fishing at the village-owned pond is open year-around to
children 14 years of age and younger.
As the season changes and the blanket of snow transforms into spring, the elusive
Morel mushroom begins to surface. For many, mushrooming in May has become a
must-do, trekking through thousands of acres of woods in search of the delicacy.
It’s to your advantage to get sidetracked and stumble upon some of Mother Nature’s
greatest assets to the region. Landslide Creek Overlook, Wetzel Lake, Sand Lake,
Johnson’s Pond and Green Lake are all favorite places to escape for a peaceful retreat.
The breathtaking views of peaceful Deadman’s Hill scenic overlook, Jordan Valley, and the Jordan Valley National Fish Hatchery
round out the essentials for a picture-perfect day.
After Memorial Day, Mancelona hosts the annual Bass Festival, complete with a carnival, flea market, parades, entertainment,
chicken barbeque and family fun. Throughout the summer, Mancelona Chamber of Commerce hosts several music concerts
downtown, free to the public. Nearby lakes provide outdoor opportunities for fishmen, boaters and swimmers, while golfers
spend an afternoon on one of the courses at Shanty Creek Resort. In season, local gardeners and crafters host the Farmers
Market each Thursday at the intersection of US-131 and M-88.
In fall, camouflage and hunter’s orange are
the prevalent wardrobe colors. The annual
Buck Pole contest has been drawing deer
hunters from throughout Michigan for over
66 years. On November 15 and 16, the opening
days of firearms deer season, the Chamber
of Commerce gives away more than 100
prizes including cash and gift certificates
during the popular hunting contest.
Those that know our history know that many
of our founding families hailed from Kentucky,
coming to Mancelona for jobs at the
Iron Works. Generations later, they are still
here because they choose to be — and love
calling Mancelona their home.

return relaxed.”

Seasonal
FARMERS MARKETS OPEN
with Fresh Produce, Vegetables, Crafts
More and more,
society has become
food conscious. We
are choosing healthy
produce options and farmfresh
meats. Local farmers
gather together every year from May
through October and participate in farmers markets to sell
their fresh produce, baked goods, plants, and handcrafted
items. Both the Bellaire Farmers Market (open Fridays
8-12 pm) and the Mancelona Farmers Market (open
Thursdays 3-7 pm) have been around for years and
have dedicated farmers that sign up to vend each year.
These farmers spend much time year-round planning,
planting, caring and harvesting their gardens and fields.
Vendors have partnered together to form food hubs at
Mancelona and Bellaire. Now, shoppers may pre-order and
pay for their orders online, and orders will be conveniently
packaged and ready for pick-up on the assigned day. Follow
social media for Torch Lake Co-Op and Mancelona Farmers
Market for details on current ordering cycles, pick-up times
