TROUT LAKE

-
-
Settled in 1881 at the junction of two major railroad lines, Trout Lake was the trading center for lumber camps in the area. It must have been a pretty wild place, for it came to be known as second only to Seney for its raucus atmosphere when lumbermen visited the four saloons here.

By the 1930s it had already become a tranquil resort area. The small nearby lakes and forested environs has created an inviting destination for outdoor lovers. The village retains a pokey charm, centering on its old general store where M-123 makes a 90° turn.

Though remote, the town gets a bit of added traffic from vehicles going between the Mackinac Bridge and Marquette and beyond. These drivers take this remote route to avoid the heavier, more dangerous traffic on US 2, although M-123 itself can be treacherous in the winter.
