Taking a ride on a glass bottom boat and seeing shipwrecks in Thunder Bay is a great way to spend a summer day! This is a really enjoyable outing to experience with friends and family. Take a tour and enjoy the sights!

Alpena's motto is "A Warm and Friendly Port". This is very true and well known among the Captains and crews of the boats and ships that travel the Great Lakes. Throughout the summer months, many different ships and boats dock at the marinas scattered around the area. Some even have on board tours. You never know what you may see when you visit the Sunrise Side of Michigan.

Alpena hosts free concerts in the park every Saturday throughout the summer on the shores of Thunder Bay, in the Bayview Park Band Shell. Come enjoy great music, good food and relax while you take in the welcoming atmosphere of Alpena. Every week is a different type of music genre.
This week is a Rolling Stones tribute band. Throughout the summer there will be Country, Classic Rock and much more. You will have fun, meet new people and see one of the reasons why we love Alpena!

Alpena is on the shores of Thunder Bay in Lake Huron. There are so many bays, rivers, streams, creeks and inland lakes in the area that you will not run out of places to swim, fish or go boating.
It is exciting to see the view from the many lighthouses that dot the shore of Lake Huron. If you like hunting, there are acres upon acres of available hunting land in the area plus state and federal lands to explore. Trails wind through this beautiful part of the state for your snowmobiling, horseback riding or walking/hiking pleasure. Come see what we have to offer! You will want to call this place home.
