The new O.R.V. trails are now open. You can now ride your Quad or A.T.V. thru town and out to state land. Gladwin boasts over 80,000 contiguous acres of state land open to the public for a wide variety of uses including hiking, o.r.v. trail riding, snowmobiling, small game and big game hunting.

Mushroom season is coming soon. Morels, and beef steaks can readily be found from the week before Mothers Day to mid-June. They can be found from under the cedars to old pasture, apple orchards to hard woods. It's always fun to go "shroomin".

The hunting season came, and went, fast this year. I believe the harvest was down this year. I haven't seen to many large bucks taken. I keep hearing news in the "wind" that they might bring baiting back, but nothing definite yet.

Be careful on the ice if you're going out fishing or snowmobiling

Gladwin also boasts several large all sports lakes that you can enjoy skiing, tubing, swimming and fishing. There are several fishing tournaments held throuhout the year on these lakes. Several championship golf courses and shopping malls within minutes of each other.

If you're looking for that waterfront home or cabin, or that hunting cabin or large hunting lodge, we can help you find it.  Gladwin truly is a recreaction town, all this within a 2.5 hour drive of Metro Detroit.
