GERMFASK

Region: Tahquamenon & Seney, Grand Marais & Whitefish Point

This small two-street town on M-77 just east of the Seney Wildlife Refuge used to be called "The Dump" because lumbermen once dumped logs into the Manistique River here to float them down to mills in Manistique on Lake Michigan. The name "Germfask" has a Scandinavian ring. Actually it is made of the initials of the last names of the eight men who settled the township in 1881.

There's no commercial center left in the town now that the Germfask Trading Post, known for the tasty smoked bacon important from Kentucky, has closed.
