DELTA COUNTYDelta County Michigan

Delta County Michigan is where land, water, and history come together to create a place both timeless and full of adventure. Resting along the northern shores of Lake Michigan, this county is known for its rugged coastline, sprawling forests, and a deep connection to the Great Lakes that has shaped its identity for generations.

At its heart lies Escanaba, the county seat, where the harbor has long been a hub for fishermen, sailors, and those drawn to the rhythm of the water. The Escanaba River, winding through the county, carries with it echoes of the past—once a lifeline for logging and industry, now a tranquil place for paddlers and explorers. Nearby, the historic Sand Point Lighthouse stands watch over the bay, a beacon that has guided travelers since the 1800s.

Beyond the city, the county opens into untouched wilderness—thick forests where trails lead to stunning views, quiet lakes that mirror the sky, and rivers that carve their way through the landscape. Days River Pathway offers miles of trails for hikers and bikers, while the Stonington Peninsula is a sanctuary for migrating monarch butterflies, transforming into a spectacle of color each fall.
