User submitted facts and corrections:
  • You have two cities mixed up here. One is Harrisville (I think that\'s the name and the other is Harrison. Harrison is located in the middle of the state of Michigan not by the water as you indicated. It is nearer to Clare or Cadillac than where you have it. The correct zip code for Harrison is 48625 but it is not near most of the places that you have. added by Michelle
  • Harrison is not near Detroit, it is indeed in Clare county, but that is 100 miles north of Lansing.
