Located on picturesque Lake Margrethe, Camp Grayling is one of the largest and finest National Guard training facilities in the nation. Founded in 1913 on land given to the State of Michigan for military training, most of its 147,000 acres can also be used for hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, and other recreation. The Camp provides nearly 200 full-time jobs, and feeds up to $20 million annually into the local economy. Each year, Camp Grayling typically schedules training for over 20,000 military personnel from National Guard units in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio, as well as Regular Army and Reserve units.
