Enjoy Downtown Mount Clemens in Macomb County

I was born and raised in the city of Mount Clemens, and its downtown is something I hold near and dear to my heart. I love walking around downtown with my son, Jordan, stopping in shops or grabbing a coffee or bite to eat.

Mount Clemens is also one of the best spots to play Pokemon Go — which is something my son really enjoys doing while we’re there.

What many people may not know is Mount Clemens was once one of the most well-known cities in the country, thanks to its natural mineral springs. During the mineral bath era, people traveled from all over the world to come and experience the healing powers Mount Clemens’ bath houses had to offer. No wonder Mount Clemens is known as “Bath City USA.”

Here, we share some of the best ways to enjoy downtown Mount Clemens.
