About Au Sable
Au Sable sits right at the mouth of the Au Sable River where it empties into Lake Huron on Michigan's eastern shore. It borders Oscoda just across the river, and the two towns share everyday services, harbor access, and a close-knit coastal feel. Living here puts you steps from sandy Lake Huron beaches and minutes from the trailheads and quiet backwaters of the Huron National Forest.
The community grew as a booming nineteenth-century lumber and commercial fishing port before rebuilding after a massive forest fire swept through in 1911. Today, that working heritage has given way to a relaxed, outdoor-focused lifestyle. It is a peaceful spot popular with boaters, anglers chasing trout and salmon, and anyone looking for a quiet, affordable pace of life along the water.
