Sights Located In Rose City Michigan

By Katrina Wheeler


A tiny town in northwestern Michigan, called Rose City, is located in Ogemaw County. Shops are spotted throughout the town, carrying various merchandise, handcrafted items as well as general food. The best part about this city is the beautiful scenery that is visible everywhere.

Allen S. Rose founded this city in 1875, although he called in Churchill. It was later renamed after him, which is how it got its current name. Allen Rose was originally located in New York City but he moved to Michigan. In 1892 when the railroad started to go through the town, it changed many things. It also would lead to the city being incorporated in 1905.

Most people here hold factory jobs, mainly in the plastics, machinery and auto part fields, but there is still a good percentage of people that work at the small shops throughout the city. The general age of people here is 44.6 and the number of people in the area is around 653.

An amazing area of wilderness with 4,449 acres is located a mere three miles from the city! It is a large, beautiful recreational area. It used to be privately owned, but it was snatched up and thankfully made available to everyone. This is a great area for nature loving activities. You can do things like cross-country skiing, fishing, boating, hunting, swimming, canoeing and hiking.

Just imagine taking your family down this beautiful river. Watching the fish swim beneath your boat. You could take a relaxing canoeing trip or just boat down the river without all the stress of daily life. This would be a great time to listen to nature, the wind through the trees and have the breeze gently kiss your face. You could become one with the outside world, really connect back to where you came from.

There is also a great 70 acre lake. You can rent paddle boats so you can relax and enjoy the water. Say you are not one for nature? Then take a small 30 minute drive and go visit some local malls. If you do not feel like making the drive, then do not forget to check out the local shops in the city.

A great thing about this area is that it has several vehicle repair, collision, and paint businesses, or if you are in the market for a new or used car they offer that too! In the horrible event that something were to happen to your car while on vacation, you would have no trouble getting it fixed, and you could be back to enjoying your vacation again.

Do you have a family with a complex variety of taste buds? Well no fear! There are many great eating establishments that this area has to offer. There is the common fast food places as well as unique non chain restaurants. These are great for a one time experience and some real home cooked food.

If you like hunting, fishing, biking, hiking or anything that gets you out in nature, Rose City, Michigan would be the perfect place for you. You can really connect with nature here. If you do not like nature then there is always the opportunity to shop!
