Kalkaska
6.1
High score (8-10)
Kalkaska County's Boardman and Rapid rivers provide some of the best trout fishing in the Lower Peninsula, and the annual National Trout Festival is the county's signature event, drawing anglers from across the Midwest in a recreational community that is more traveled and socially engaged than the county's permanent rural population.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Kalkaska County is forested inland northern Michigan between Traverse City and Grayling without the social assets of either. The county seat of Kalkaska has about 2,200 people and the county has no college, no professional class, and no social infrastructure beyond the fishing and hunting recreation circuits. Limited access for a foreign man outside of those specific worlds.
Lower score (below 6)
Kalkaska County has no social infrastructure for an outsider — the entire social world is organized around outdoor recreation and the families who have been in the area for generations. A foreign man here needs to either fish or hunt to find any social access, and even that access is surface-level.
