West Michigan Yellow Pages

Water is so much a part of our lives and here in the Ludington area, there's plenty of it! We are blessed to have Lake Michigan, Hamlin Lake, and the Pere Marquette River right outside our doorstep, allowing us to enjoy the great outdoors all year long.

NEW! Guided Sunset Cruises on Hamlin Lake
One of the best ways to explore Hamlin Lake is by boat...and a great way to discover the lake is with a guided sunset cruise, which runs Memorial Weekend through Labor Day weekend. Board a 25' Bentley Luxury Pontoon (wheelchair accessible) at Hamlin Lake Boat Rentals prior to sunset and let the captain do the work. All you have to worry about is how spectacular the sunset will be that night! Price is just $20 per person, and reservations are required. Call (231) 843-8497 for more information. This is approximately a 2-hour ride (weather permitting) and life jackets are supplied. This can be a romantic outing for the two of you, or bring the entire family for a wholesome adventure. A half price coupon for kids is here.

Pizzas can even be ordered and delivered to the dock prior to your departure from these area restaurants:
Hungry Howie's Pizza & Subs
Luciano's Ristoranti
Chuck Wagon Pizza
Mancino's Pizza & Grinders
Spanky's Pizza

So unplug from the stress and turn off your cell phone—you don't want the distraction when there's so much to see, like the abundance of wildlife in and around the lake. The warm summer breezes will relax you and the sunset will amaze you.

Jet Ski Rentals
There's no more thrilling way to tour Hamlin Lake than on a personal watercraft. Hamlin Lake Jet Ski at (231) 843-2090, rents brand new three-seater Yamahas from a half hour to all day. Ludington Water Sports (located at Sauble Resort), (231) 843-8497, also rents jet skis. Whether you rent a jet ski for one person or the whole family, the excitement of cruising the lake will be remembered as one of your favorite adventures.
