Alpena Convention & Visitors Bureau

Alpena CVB

A place where natural beauty, recreation and hospitality combine to create the consummate Sunrise Side experience. The familiar feeling of "upnorth Michigan" is everywhere with new things to see and do. It's a neat little piece of the Sunrise Shoreline, and it's yours to discover. The folks who live here prize the quiet beauty and friendly, laid-back atmosphere that is life in the Alpena area ... small-town charming, but with plenty of interesting things to see and do. It's an unpretentious place featuring uncluttered beaches, undeveloped wild areas and unmatched northern hospitality. Everything seems to bend towards the water here. Given the Lake Huron waters at its shores and the Thunder Bay River which runs through it, it's no surprise that many of Alpena's recreational opportunities have to do with enjoying this beautiful, abundant resource.
