Clare - Farwell - Harrison - Lake - Lake George - Leota

Welcome to the official site for visitor information about Clare County Michigan. ​​
​We invite you to visit us and Explore Clare County!
New to Clare County is Mid Michigan College's Heron's Nest 18-hole Disc Golf Course! This course winds through the woods on the Harrison Campus and is open for public use. All skill levels will find this course fun and exciting!
Clare County is called ‘The Gateway to the North’ for good reason; most of our county is undeveloped wooded lands that turn into an explosion of color during the autumn. If you are fortunate enough to be traveling in Mid-Michigan during this time of year, enjoy our natural fireworks display. 

Quilt Block Trail!

While visiting Clare County remember to look for the many quilt blocks displayed on barns, homes, and businesses! A Quilt Block Trail has been developed to help you find them!
