Cadillac
Cadillac, originally known as Clam Lake, is a wonderful destination in northwest Michigan. Michigan's geographic center is about five miles north-northwest of Cadillac. Cadillac is the central city of the Cadillac micropolitan area, which includes all of Wexford County to the east and Missaukee County to the west and had a population of 48,725 at the time of the 2020 census. Mitchell State Park is ideal for nature lovers who want to go hunting or fishing. There are also numerous hiking and biking trails, as well as opportunities to swim in Lake Mitchell or Lake Cadillac. During the winter, Lake Cadillac and Lake Mitchell freeze over, and the city is blanketed in snow. Cadillac is linked to a number of popular trail systems for winter recreationists. The city blends in unusually well with the travel corridors created by snowmobilers.
If you don't want to go outside, take a stroll through the downtown shopping areas or pay a visit to the Wexford County Historical Society and Museum. Learn about how people used to live and farm in the area or attend one of the many events and festivals that are frequently held here. Finally, spend a day at Cadillac's family-friendly amusement park, Adventure Island, for some good old-fashioned fun. Good for any and all ages, Cadillac suits people of all interests and pursuits.
