IRISH HILLS

The 'Irish Hills' is a rectangular area of land in northwest Lenawee County in the U.S. state of Michigan. Its name comes from the Irish immigrants who settled there from 1830-1850. It is renowned throughout the state for its beautiful scenery, especially in the summer, with its many rolling hills and gorgeous lakes.
As for tourism, the Irish Hills offer a modest amount of what could be known as "tourist trapping." It has several family-oriented locations, including an old west theme park known as ''Stagecoach Stop''. It's also known for its several family-owned restaurants and bars that offer a variety of different food. There are several places to lodge, mostly on lakefront areas. It's also home to Michigan International Speedway, which hosts NASCAR and Indy-Series races, and hosts close to 300,000 fans a year during the racing season of June, July, and August.
Some towns in the Irish Hills include Onsted, Clinton, and Brooklyn.
