Van Ettan Lake Lodge
Guests prepare for a morning horseback ride at Van Ettan Lake Lodge in Oscoda in a photograph likely taken in the 1920s. This short video examines a moment from northern Michigan’s early resort trade.
The riders and lodge setting show how visitors spent time beyond the waterfront. The episode connects the photograph with Oscoda’s shift from its lumber years toward recreation and lodging. Its location follows the corrected point supplied in the Michigan Moments map.
