The Township is primarily forested and 20.5% of its 72.2 square miles are owned by the state and are within the Lake Superior State Forest. The majority of the Township’s population is located in and around the small, rural unincorporated village of Curtis. Curtis is located on a strip of land that borders both the northern shoreline of the South Manistique Lake and the southern shoreline of Manistique Lake.
Development in Curtis, and throughout Portage Township, consists of primary and secondary housing and recreational property. Commercial properties are concentrated along Main Street in Curtis. These commercial properties consist of businesses that cater to the tourist industry, such as restaurants, taverns, convenience stores, and recreational vehicle dealerships.
Retail is limited in Portage, but there is a thriving arts community revolving around the Erickson Center for the Arts. With plenty of woods and water, Portage Township is a nature and art lover’s destination.
