Welcome to the Birch Shores Property Owners’ Association website.  Birch Shores is a private residential community located in Trout Lake, Michigan, 35 miles northwest of the Mackinac Bridge.  Nestled on a forested peninsula between Big Trout Lake, Frenchman’s Lake and the Carp River, we are blessed to be surrounded by nature’s beauty.  Residents of Birch Shores enjoy year round activities right outside our front doors, including boating, fishing, hiking, hunting, ORVing, and snowmobiling.
