A Rustic Gathering Spot for Outdoor Cooking, Community Meals, and Northern Hospitality

The Cookshack is often the heart of summer and fall activities in Melgund Township, serving as the go-to spot for everything from pancake breakfasts and fish fries, to hotdogs, community programming, and volunteer appreciation meals. It’s a space built for sharing—not just food, but stories, laughter, and connection.
