What to Know

Chatham is home to the Alger County Fair, which is a three-day late-July celebration in the Upper Peninsula's Pictured Rocks country, serving the farming and timber communities of the Lake Superior shoreline.

Before You Go

Chatham is near Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore — the sandstone cliffs, sea caves, and Grand Sable Dunes along Lake Superior are among the most beautiful landscapes in the Great Lakes.

On the Midway

Expect livestock judging, 4-H competitions, carnival rides, and the community spirit of the Upper Peninsula's most scenic county.
