Welcome to the Pigeon River Country. This site is a photographic history of my 40+ years spent camping, fishing, hunting and biking this beautiful region. The Pigeon River Country encompasses approximately 95,000 acres and was created in October of 1973 by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. It is located in the northern part of Michigan's lower peninsula and is at the center of the range of the only large, wild elk herd east of the Mississippi River. I hope you enjoy the website as much as I do! ATTENTION: Several miles of the Pigeon River were decimated and most of the fish killed because someone at the Song of the Morning Ranch, a yoga center, apparently messed up when opening a gate on a private hydroelectric dam and released tons of soft black silt.

The Pigeon River Country State Forest needs your help to keep ORVs from compromising its wild character.  A July 2008 state law provides that a county Board of Commissioners may pass an ordinance that allows ORVs to use some or all of its county roads.
