Beautiful December drive !! I was born and raised in Michigan and my folks took us up to Houghton Lake in the summers. I'm in California now but I bought 10 acres up on Tower Hill road about 2 miles from the lake. Will retire in 4 years and move to Houghton Lake. All of my best memories from childhood were staying in a cabin on the lake, swimming, fishing, etc. I was there in May of 2020 to buy the land the the people were just as friendly as I remembered. I love everything about Houghton Lake ... all seasons. Sometimes we went in the fall to go hunting. My brother used to be in a snowmobile club in Prudenville and knows all the winter trails there!
Thanks for making this vid! I won't be able to make it up there this winter. Covid crap and all. This made this old man's night! I love Houghton Lake summer or winter!
Houghton Lake in the 1970s and 80s was a pretty vibrant place but the recession and covid shutdown from 4 years ago really took a toll on the area. When you look at this video it's actually kinda sad to see Houghton Lake like this.
Love this place! Grandpa built a house on Lake James in Prudenville.. 1967 been going there since I was a kid very nice in the summer.
I miss this place. Lived there for a year while I worked in a military program with AAR out of Cadillac.
