FUN THINGS TO DO:
~ Boating! Few boats are on the lake even on the weekends, which makes for great water skiing, tubing, kneeboarding, swimming, and visits to the beach. Boat launch nearby.
~ Lake Michigan! Boat launch for Lake Michigan is available in town.
~ Fishing! Hamlin Lake is known for great fishing. Catch perch, bass, sunfish, and more right off the dock or on the lake. Ice fishing is popular in the winter. Salmon and many other fish are in Lake Michigan and the Pere Marquette River. A fishing license is required and is available down the block at the marina or in town.
~ Snowmobiling! Hundreds of miles of public trails.
~ Cross County Skiing!
~ Visit the State Park: Only a ten minute drive. Stop anywhere along the road to enjoy miles of beautiful clean uncrowded beach along Lake Michigan. Sunsets are the most beautiful in the world! Hike on many miles of marked trails. Swim in Lake Michigan and enjoy the beach outside of the large beach house or swim in Hamlin Lake, relax on the beach and enjoy refreshments at the concession stand, rent paddle boats, visit the Nature Center, walk over the top of the roaring dam.
