Cheboygan and Presque County

Cheboygan is the Tip of the Mitt. The main Lakes in Cheboygan County are Mullet, Burt, and the North end of Black Lake. These lakes are legendary for walleye, perch, and the sturgeon reaching 6 feet in legnth. Douglas Lake has very good population of aggressive northern pike. Presque County main lakes are Grand, Long and Black Lake for walleye and perch. The king salmon fishing off of Roger City and Presque Island Harbor are the best on Lake Huron and may’be in the world. It also has a great deer herd in its very large swamps.
