My family is planning to move to Bad Axe next spring from Mississippi. I would like some information on the community,schools,weather etc. I would also like to know if Bad Axe is a friendly town. Thank you and appreciate any information.

I've only been to Bad Axe on vacation, but I can tell you a little about it. It's a smaller town (pop. 3,462) although it's the largest town in Huron County. It definitely has a small town feel, so if that's what you're looking for, it will be perfect. There are many new homes, shopping centers and it's a short distance away from beautiful Lake Huron. It's not necessarily "booming", but it's not depressed either. As far as schools go, I won't say anything because I have no idea. You should check out GreatSchools.net if you want reliable school info. Good luck on your move!

I grew up in Bad Axe. I moved away several years ago, and I couldn't wait to get out of there. Now, though, I would love to go back. "Don't know what you got till it's gone," I guess. It is very quiet and peaceful. Personally, I think it is the best small town. The schools are good, and shopping is okay. The nearest mall is about an hour away in Bay City or Saginaw. Parks and Rec is great. Festivals are great. I would looove to move back.
