Topinabee, (pronounced: TOP ‘n-uh-bee), is located on beautiful Mullett Lake in Mullett Township. This Cheboygan County town was founded in 1881 by executives of the Michigan Central Railroad, who wanted a resort built on Mullett Lake during the lumber era. H. H. Pike built a hotel here that year and helped platt the village, naming it after Potawattomi Chief Topinabee, or: "Great Bear Heart," who signed a treaty giving white men the site of Fort Dearborn, which is now Chicago. Today, Topinabee retains its small town atmosphere with a store, post office, township hall and city park on the lake, serving the surrounding resorts. It is easily accessed off I-75 at M-27. |
