SANFORD, MI - COMMUNITY DESCRIPTION

The Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce welcomes you to our village. Our motto is the “Best Little Town by a Dam Site”. The Dam on the Tittabawassee River forms Sanford Lake. We are located in Midland County, Michigan just ten minutes Northwest of Midland proper and about 30 minutes West of Saginaw and Bay City.

Do you like outdoor activities? Sanford has some great recreational opportunities. Sanford Lake offers activities from boating and fishing to relaxing on a sandy beach while letting the children splash around in the lake or in the new spray-park.  If hiking, or biking is more your thing, you can jump on the Pere Marquette Rail Trail right in town. If you like a more challenging trail, the Pine Haven Recreation Area has miles of wooded mountain bike trails built on 325 acres. Pine Haven offers the most diverse terrain in Midland County for biking, hiking, horseback riding and cross country skiing.
