There's something here for everyone to enjoy! Fisherman's Paradise: Cast your line off the dock for access to Small and Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, Black Crappie, and Northern Pike without ever leaving your own backyard. Note: There are thirty-three (33) physical 'steps' from the top of the driveway at the house, down to the water's edge with sloped earthen pathway in between. Explore the Area: Embark on wine tours, discover microbreweries, or cruise Lake Michigan aboard the "Tallship Manitou," "Discovery Pier," "Wind Dancer," or "Nauti Cat."
