Set against the beautiful backdrop of majestic Lake Michigan, the quaint port town of Algoma invites visitors to slow down and enjoy life at a little slower pace. Founded in 1851, the city of Algoma has held on to its tradition of small town friendliness.

Strolling along the historic downtown streets, visitors are greeted by cheerful Algoma storeowners. Rich with a variety of quaint shops, finding that perfect gift for someone or even yourself is easy in Algoma. Along the way, stop in at the von Stiehl Winery for a tour of the historic winery followed by a tasting of the delightful wines.

Once an abandoned railway line, the picturesque Ahnapee Trail takes hikers, bikers and snowmobilers on a winding journey, following the Ahnapee River. Perfect for a relaxing day with friends and family, the trail passes scenic landscapes of farmland, marshes and beautiful woods and even crosses an old-fashioned railway bridge.

With the twitch of a line, the leisurely life in Algoma can switch to an afternoon of excitement aboard one of the many fishing charters. Brown trout, chinook and coho salmon, and powerful steelhead challenge anglers of all skill levels, and are sure to provide a number of fish tales for years to come.
