ST. CHARLES, SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

our town

The Village of St. Charles is located in Saginaw County, approximately 20 miles southwest of Saginaw. Known as the gateway to the Shiawassee Flats it is abundant in outdoor recreation activities for all ages. St. Charles is a sportsperson’s paradise for those who enjoy the great outdoors, hunting, shing,

kayaking, boating, snowmobiling and ORVing all while giving you that small town charm. Spring, Summer and Fall you will see many people driving or pulling a trailer full of ORVs through town heading out for a fun ride. During Winter, it is nothing to see or hear a bunch of snowmobiles making their way to the Bad River.

The Bad River is a 44.3-milelong river that begins near the City of Ithaca in Gratiot County and ows northeast into Saginaw County, through St. Charles before emptying into the Shiawassee River. And for those who enjoy river riding, St. Charles and its downtown is a great place to meet up with friends, have a meal and fuel up for the day. Late January and February, if the weather and conditions are right, are an ideal time to take a trip down the Bay River all the way to Bay City and out to the Saginaw Bay. It is always a good idea though to check with the locals rst on ice conditions as some years are better than others to enjoy this beautiful ride.
