The Center’s prime location is a gateway to some of the region’s most popular area attractions.
Onaway is a sportsman’s paradise and a nature lover’s dream. The area is home to thousands of acres of northern Michigan state forest recreation areas, fishing, hunting and inland lakes. The city is surrounded by thousands of acres of Mackinaw State Forest, and the scenery is breathtaking. Watching leaves change as the seasons fold one after the other, is a worth the time spent at the Center.
Onaway is an all-season, inside and outdoor, recreation destination. It’s also just a short jaunt from Burt Lake, Mullet Lake and Michigan’s popular Inland Waterways. Onaway is only five miles from its namesake’s state park and Black Lake, which is teeming with excellent walleye, bass and perch fishing.
Located in the northeast, lower-peninsula of Michigan, Onaway sits on the western edge of Presque Isle County and is just a short drive from Black Mountain State Forest Recreation Area, Ocqueoc Falls, Petoskey, Charlevoix, the Mackinac Bridge and so many other area attractions. It is 18 miles east of I-75, 22 miles west of Lake Huron, 45 miles southeast of the Straits of Mackinac and 265 miles north of Detroit.
The Black Lake Golf Club is a premier course designed by architect Rees Jones.
While many courses have two or three so-called signature holes that are worthy of brochure status, every hole at Black Lake Golf Club could easily be on the cover of a magazine promoting the course. That is one reason it was ranked 34th in Golf Digest’s
“100 Greatest Public Courses in America” in May 2009 and ninth in the Best Value
category.
Night Life
Our guests are encouraged to visit the Center’s onsite local watering hole, Mazey’s. Whether you just want to enjoy a nice cold adult beverage, or participate and/or host in a sing-along in the bar’s classroom – that’s right, every inch of Black Lake is educational! – or dance the night away during the DJ-hosted nights, Mazey’s door is open to guests and visitors. Limited shuttle bus service is available to guests for transport. Leave the driving to us. We’ve got you covered.
