Let's start with a few questions to narrow down your options.
Houghton Lake is an unincorporated community in Roscommon County, Michigan with no local government, but should not be confused with the community of Houghton on the Keweenaw Peninsula. Houghton Lake is thought to have been first settled in 1873 by a family who moved south from Chesaning, Michigan to homestead. Timber production was largely responsible for the community's establishment and growth, and numerous logging camps had popped up by the mid-1800s. Other towns appeared, and railways were built to support the logging industry, which by the late 1800s had become the area's primary industry. Houghton Lake was established some time prior to 1879 but was originally name Roscommon; it was renamed in honor of Michigan's first state geologist, Douglass Houghton. Today it is one of Michigan's top resort destinations.
Book an RV in Roscommon County, and you are ready to begin exploring Michigan the way the early settlers did (albeit in more comfortable surroundings). There are other towns that are worth visiting while you're here. Grayling is the host of the Au Sable River Canoe Marathon which began in July of 1947 and has been held here ever since. Cadillac has two sister cities, Mölnlycke, Sweden, and Rovaniemi, Finland. Kalkaska has two major festivals, the National Trout Festival in April, and the WinterFest in January. Your Houghton Lake travel trailer rental is your invitation to visit these places and others.
