Sign in to contribute

Charlevoix County bridges the transition between northern Lower Peninsula forests and the Great Lakes shorelines of Lake Michigan and Lake Charlevoix. Deer hunting occurs in mixed hardwood-conifer forest with pockets of agricultural land near the southern margins. Waterfowl hunting on the extensive water features and turkey opportunities add variety to the big-game season.

Terrain & elevation

Mixed hardwood and conifer forest with glacial lakes, Lake Michigan shoreline, and the broad expanse of Lake Charlevoix dominating the landscape.

Hunting pressure

Moderate - tourist and resort area with notable non-resident presence but large forest tracts disperse pressure effectively.

Tags & permits

Michigan DNR system with OTC antlered tags under northern LP regulations.

Species & seasons

Waterfowl hunting on Lake Charlevoix and Lake Michigan shoreline marshes can be excellent for diving and puddle ducks during fall migration. Turkey numbers are present but thin near the northern edge of reliable range.

Highlights

Lake Charlevoix waterfowl hunting during fall migration; mixed-forest deer hunting with accessible public land in the northern LP.
