We operate on Lake Macatawa which about 6 miles long and 1.2 miles in width. It has 2 waterfront restaurants Boatwerks http://www.boatwerksrestaurant.com and LoLo’s https://www.lolosbarandgrill.com. On calm days you are welcome to go out in Lake Michigan as long as you stay within 2 miles of shore. We don’t allow the anchoring of boats on Lake Michigan unless you ask first and we give you our permission. With that said it is still your responsibility to keep an eye on conditions and keep the boat safe. Always rule on the side of caution! On a calm day its only 8 miles down the coast to Saugatuck.
