Welcome to Emmet County

Emmet County is located along the shores of Lake Michigan at the Northern tip of the Lower Peninsula. US-31, US-131 and I-75 provide easy access to the area.

Communities in the county include Petoskey, the county seat, Alanson , Harbor Springs , and Pellston. The Waugoshance island group is also part of Emmet County.

First settled in 1865 as Porter's Village, Petoskey developed as the railroad expanded into the area and became incorporated in 1879. Built on the hillsides of Lake Michigan and Little Traverse Bay, Petoskey provides great the views, access to water sports and quiet strolls through the city parks. Bay Harbor, a new resort community, is located just south of the city.
