Beach Hiking Kayaking Natural Features Outdoor Rec

Besser Natural Area is a laid-back slice of woods and shoreline tucked off a quiet road north of Alpena.

It’s got peaceful trails, virgin pines (tall, OLD pines that have never been logged), beach access, and the crumbling remains of an old ghost town hidden in the trees.
