Before You Go

Kalkaska is at the headwaters of the Boardman River in the heart of Michigan's oil patch — the National Trout Festival in April and the county's deep trout fishing heritage precede the summer fair.

On the Midway

Expect livestock judging, 4-H competitions, carnival rides, grandstand entertainment, and the northern Michigan farming and resort community spirit of the Boardman River headwaters.
