Ausable River, MI
The Ausable River in Michigan runs approximately 129 miles (208 km)[2] through the northern Lower Peninsula, through the towns of Grayling (Grayling is located in the middle of Nothern Michigan situated approximately 4 hours driving distance from Detroit on HWY 75 North) and Mio, and enters Lake Huron at Oscoda. It is considered one of the best brown trout fisheries east of the Rockies and has been designated a Blue Ribbon trout stream by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. In French, Ausable literally means "with sand". Most of the main branch of the Ausable flows through or adjacent to the Huron-Manistee National Forest.
