Rogers City Locations

Herman Vogler

A great spot if you enjoy a wooded look along with water. Trout river runs through Herman Vogler.

Seagull Point

This is a very pretty beach along lake huron that has a walking path that allows for a wooded feel along side the beach (rocky and sandy spots throughout the beach).

DownTown

Great idea for someone who is looking for something different/ that urban look. There are a few buildings I typically use throughout town which are shown in the images (however if you have one in mind that you do not see just let me know).

Harbor/Lakeside park

If you love fishing/boating or water pictures this is a great option. The boat harbor normally has some pretty color boats and the beach offers the beautiful breakwall. There is also a few cute little spots to go along the park right next to the beach on the walkway.

Trout River Park

This is an option as well for natural lovers. This park is more famous for its rustic looking bridge shown in the pictures. There is also a bike path with a few little areas that are cute for pictures along with a fire pit in the open area of the park.

South Shore Park

This is a little park that has another beautiful beach and bike path along side of it. (This park is at the ball fields).

01/05

North Shore Park

I love this area as it's not the typical spot most people think to utilize. Normally this area is a little more quiet compared to the other beaches along Rogers City and the beach is always changing in looks.

Great spot if you love lighthouses and nice beaches. Sandy beaches, an apple tree-normally with a tree swing-, a few benches and during certain parts of the year you are able to see the shipwreck on the beach.

This is one of my favorite spots to go in the fall time. There is some beautiful colors out at knaebe's along with a fun experience. (I am totally down for you grabbing an apple cider or some donuts during your session).

Ocqueoc Falls

Another water and wooded area with some cute little falls. (Just keep in mind that during certain times of year this park can get extremely packed)
