Roscommon County includes only three small towns: Roscommon, Houghton Lake, and Saint Helen. These typical rural Michigan towns with maybe 3,000 residents combined include people that either have lived here their entire lives or moved here from just a few counties away. There are great places to be in the summer, like the two lakes and the AuSable River. Of course, each are only available in the short three months of summer. In the other 75% of the year, there is not much to do besides hunting, fishing, and skiing/snowmobiling. The students as well as the residents in general have little to no diversity at all. People of color consist of less than 5% of the population and LGBT+ members are barely higher. This lack of diversity encourages a high amount of racism and homophobia throughout the town and schools. All in all, Roscommon County is a fantastic vacation destination, but there is barely any activities for the long winter, and one may encounter vast amounts of prejudice.
Roscommon is a small village and a great place to have a nice family outing. The lakes are absolutely beautiful as is the woodlands.
I love the smallness of this community . Where everyone knows everyone and they are willing to go out of their way for anyone that may need help. I absolutely love the fact that we are located between three absolutely gorgeous lakes and we have one main river that we take extreme pride in. I love the fact that this is a town where people come to retire as well as raise their children. There is a calmness about this town you can feel it even once you reach the countyline on any main express way. One thing I would change would be to ban alcohol sales and consumption within this town. I would make its dry county . But I honestly would do that any where if I was given a chance.
