KINDE AT A GLANCE:
Kinde is a cozy community nestled between the picturesque lakeshore and the hustle of the county seat of Bad Axe.

About 9 miles north of Bad Axe, Kinde is steadily growing as a choice bedroom community. Close to the shopping, medical and county services Bad Axe offers, Kinde is even closer to the luxurious lakeshore view, quaint shops and fine dining of Port Austin.

EVENTS:
At the heart of activity in Kinde is North Huron Schools. The recreational park in town is a center of activity, boasting plenty of softball games in the summer. It’s also a place for youngsters to play and families to gather under the pavilion.

There’s yet another place for family fun as the Wiley Coyote’s Waterjet Slide splashes into summer. And don’t miss out on a game of putt putt golf, or try your hand at rock climbing.

This year the town will host its annual Polka Fest Sept. 13-14. The event has been a huge hit and organizers again are tapping top-notch polka bands from across the country to perform at the festival. Food, drink, and dancing will be plentiful as people of all ages gather downtown for a festival packed with friends, family and fun.

HISTORY:
Originally settled as Dwight Crossing, the town’s name changed when the Kinde family moved to town. They established the Kinde General Store, a hub for any supply you could think of for people all across the county.
