Oscoda is an unincorporated community in the U.S. state of Michigan located on the northern side of the Au Sable River where it enters Lake Huron. The community of Au Sable is on the other side of the river. Oscoda is in Oscoda Township in Iosco County, and not in Oscoda County, which is to the northwest. The 1990 census population was 1,061, although 3,000 personnel were stationed at nearby Wurtsmith Air Force Base. Oscoda is a census-designated place (CDP) for statistical purposes. As of the 2000 census (several years after the closure of the air force base), the population was 992, and in 2010 the population was 903. The post office at Oscoda first opened with the name AuSable on September 23, 1856. The name changed to Oscoda on July 1, 1875.

My husband and I spent 3 days in Oscoda, Mi and took a half day to drive the River Road Scenic Byway. We didn't know what to expect at the height of the summer, but the drive and the many stops along the way were terrific. All of the turnoffs are clearly marked along this 23-mile byway, all were very clean, including the restrooms', and all offered wonderful views of the Au Sable River. If you like to walk in the woods, ride a bike, or gaze at the water, this is the place for you. Many of the turnoffs have picnic tables, which make River Road Scenic Byway a great place for a picnic! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this drive to family and friends. And we look forward to returning later this year for the fall colors.

Oscoda Michigan had one of the most beautiful beaches in the State. It has miles of soft Sandy beaches and fresh clean water to swim in. The sunrises are amazing. It's also very affordable.
