💡 Local Tip
If you're visiting in summer, ask locals about the Tawas Bay waterfront and the East Tawas State Dock area; the airport is a convenient base for boating, fishing, and the annual Perchville USA festival, but book ground transportation and lodging early because the area fills up quickly.

Taxi and rideshare coverage can be limited in the Tawas area, especially outside summer. The airport is a short drive from downtown East Tawas via US-23, which is the main north-south route along the Lake Huron coast.
