Our Community

Evart is a quaint small-town rural community located in the central part of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula.  Abounding in lakes, rivers and streams, forests, and farmland the Evart area is known for its four-season recreational opportunities.  Many full-time and part-time residents and tourists partake in fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, bicycling, canoeing/kayaking, river tubing, dirt biking, off-roading, trapping, and more!
