Welcome to Nahma Township, a hidden gem in Delta County, nestled in the heart of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

Our charming township is perfectly situated, with its eastern border just 21 miles west of Manistique and its western edge 25 miles east of Escanaba. To the north, Nahma Township stretches within 20 miles of the majestic Lake Superior, while to the south, it kisses the serene shores of Big Bay de Noc on Lake Michigan.

Steeped in history, Nahma is a proud lumbering and sawmill community, established as early as 1856. During the golden era of the Big Bay de Noquet Company, our bustling town employed over 1,200 hardworking individuals. Though the timber resources were eventually exhausted, leading to the town’s sale in 1951—a story that captured national attention in Life Magazine—Nahma’s spirit remains unbroken.

Today, Nahma Township is a paradise for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. With 68 percent of our land (a vast 75,000 acres) federally owned as part of the Hiawatha National Forest, we offer an abundance of natural beauty and recreational opportunities. Our township boasts numerous streams, inland lakes, and 14 miles of pristine Big Bay de Noc shoreline, making it a haven for tourists and seasonal residents alike.

Nahma Township is truly a sportsman’s fantasy. Our rich water resources, expansive public lands, and diverse wildlife create the perfect setting for fishing, hunting, trapping, boating, kayaking, off-road riding, hiking, horseback riding, and countless other outdoor activities. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, the Hiawatha National Forest and the vast expanse of Big Bay de Noc offer endless adventures.

As Gordon Lightfoot beautifully sang, “Old (Lake) Michigan steams like a young man’s dream; the Islands and Bays are for Sportsmen.” Come and experience the dream for yourself in Nahma Township, where every visit is a new adventure waiting to unfold.
