Welcome to the community known as the Sanctuary of the Great Lakes. The historic Michigan port city of Alpena is nestled between a vast forest and an endless clear blue bay on Lake Huron.
As your Sanctuary of the Great Lakes, Alpena is a haven from the storms of life. We want you to leave your cares behind and embrace serenity in our forests, lakes, rivers, and culture. Alpena is where you create lasting memories and reconnect with who you are, with your family, and rediscover all those things that matter most in life.
