Mullett Township is a general law township in Cheboygan County, Michigan. The population was 1312 in the 2010 US census. The township and Mullett Lake are named for John Mullett, who with William Burt, surveyed much of the area between 1840 and 1843.

The commercial center of the Township is the quiet unincorporated Village of Topinabee located on the west shore of Mullett Lake on M27 highway. The village is a trailhead for the DNR Trail with off-street parking and restrooms.

The village has a Post Office, Convenience Store with gas pumps, Public Library with 24 hour outdoor WiFi, an artisan-owned woodwork shop, a breakfast cafe and a bar and grille. Township owned buildings include the Library, Township Hall and Fire Hall, and an unused former school building on Lea St.

Recreation needs are served with a beachfront park and covered picnic area, free public boat launch at the north end of the village, a small public access to Mullett Lake across from the Nokia Cafe and tennis court, ball-field, and playground equipment at a public park located up the hill on Lea St.

The east side of Mullett Township is largely rural, with no commercial development. Township services include a Fire Hall and volunteer East Mullett Lake Fire Department.

♚You're the Queen ♚♚NO, You're the Queen♚

These two Mullett Township Board members, Supervisor MaryAnne Gale and Clerk Rachel Osborn were apparently rehearsing to take their act to the Jerry Springer Show before the 2015/2016 Budget Workshop started. 

♚You're a Queen. 

♚No, you're a Queen.

In truth, they should just take off the gloves and use the proper label; it starts with a B....and ends with H.


The Mullett Township Board Meetings no longer warrant attendance by anyone outside of the Topinabee Development Association. Like a black person in the segregated South in the 1960's, you can sit at the counter, but you will never be served unless you are the TDA.  

The only attendees are TDA members, employees attending under threat of firing, and "diehards" who should know better.

 That leaves a very small group of electors to cast votes for more of the same at the next election. The East Mullett Lake attendees concerned about roads were dissed and never came back. The lighting district SAD hearing attendees were also dissed, their opinions ignored-NO lights or fewer lights, and the Board voted to proceed.

At least 19 trees destroyed to install a "flush" and forget TDA Streetscape storm sewer. This polluted storm water run-off flows directly into Mullett Lake next to a public beach. Storm water run-off is the leading cause of beach closures in Michigan. Tom O'Hare and the TDA followers don't care. Their children don't swim at the public beach; your children do.
