SILVER LAKE
West Michigan realtors are eager to show you various parcels of land within your price range. Lake Michigan property is always popular, but many like the serenity of a smaller lake, such as Pentwater or Bass Lakes. Silver Lake is for those who love adventure, with wave runners, ski boats and jet skiis available for rent. Take an exciting dune buggy ride on the nearby Silver Lake Sand Dunes, and enjoy all the fun this area has to offer.

HAMLIN LAKE
Just four miles north of Ludington is Hamlin Lake, known as the "Lake for all Seasons." At more than 12 miles long and 5,000 acres large, there's plenty of space here for everyone. Fishing is terrific on Hamlin Lake...even in the winter when shanties dot the icy surface.

PM RIVER
The Pere Marquette River winds through four counties and is excellent for steelhead and brown trout fishing. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy the river for canoeing or kayaking, and hunters search for deer, wild turkeys and small game. A lodge along the Pere Marquette River would be a perfect four season getaway.
