Atlanta, the Elk Capital of Michigan...
Deer hunting, bird hunting, fishing and snowmobiling all make Atlanta and the surrounding public land a popular place. Named the Elk Capital of Michigan, Atlanta invited people to see Michigan's unique elk herd and hosts the limited elk hunt each December. Elk viewing is possible by pulling quietly into forest openings off the rural roads north and west of Atlanta in early morning and late evening.
Clear Lake State Park offers both a beach and picnic area and a full service campground. Elk Ridge Golf Course is an exceptional course carved out of a mature forest of pines.  There are many state forest campgrounds on area lakes that offer quality outdoor experiences.

The Atlanta Area Chamber of Commerce invites you to events including sled dog races in January, an SCCA sports car rally in February, an Easter egg hunt in the spring, the July 4th celebration with parade, contests and fireworks, the Montmorency County 4-H Fair in mid-August, a haunted house for kids in October, the deer pole contest during November firearms opening day and an elk pole contest during the December hunt. The primary event is the Atlanta Elk Festival held the last weekend in September each year, offering a parade, contests, auction, craft  sales, food vendors and other activities on the streets of Atlanta.
