Is a small town between Cheyboygan and Roger city, very small population, full of small town charm. When in Onaway you are not more then ten minuets from several beautiful lakes. The summers here are full of camping, swimming, boating, bonfires and fun. It has been a vacation destination for years. The winters are for snowmobiling and ice fishing. The residents here are very close and care much for their little town. This towns locals are very passionate about their sports teams. Thus several rivalries with surrounding hater towns like roger city and Indian river. Tho most people from onaway do not know we have a rival with Indian river. I guess they just have a sore spot for onaway. it has several amazing restraunts that people drive miles to come visit as well as the businesses like the cute little resale store.
