About Lincoln
Nestled right between Brownlee Lake and Lincoln Lake, Lincoln is a quiet northern Michigan village where water shapes daily life. The town got its start in the 1880s as a timber hub called West Harrisville before taking the name Lincoln. Today, those twin lakes define the community, offering scenic shorelines, quiet residential streets, and easy access to year-round fishing and boating.
At the center of town, the restored 1886 wooden train depot stands as a proud nod to the village's railroad roots. Lincoln serves as a friendly hub for the area, with local students attending Alcona Community Schools and neighbors coming together around downtown parks and community events. It offers an easy, unhurried pace for anyone looking for small-town living close to the water.
