5 Reasons Fall Is the Best Time to Visit Lake Huron
September 2, 2025
1. The Crowds? Gone.
Summer may steal the spotlight, but fall is when Lake Huron cottages shine. Fewer people means more shoreline for you, your family, and maybe even your pup (yes, Barefoot Beach Cottages are pet-friendly).
2. Foliage That Deserves Its Own Fan Club
From Lumberman’s Monument to Foote Pond Overlook, Oscoda’s fall colors will have you snapping more photos than your camera roll can handle.
3. Cozy Weather, Perfect Sweater
That “just-right” Michigan chill makes lakeside bonfires and starry nights feel extra magical. Bonus points if you pack fuzzy socks.
4. Outdoor Adventures Without Melting
Kayaking on the Au Sable River or hiking local trails feels refreshing instead of sweaty. Mother Nature really nailed the fall climate.
5. Cottage Life Done Right
At Barefoot Beach Cottages, you’ll enjoy private beachfront views, fire pits, and the kind of quiet you can’t get at home. Trust me—your group chat will be jealous.
Why wait? Make your fall getaway to Oscoda, MI, the trip that gives summer a run for its money. Book your cottage at Barefoot Beach Cottages today!
