Get Out on the Water, West Michigan!

Raise the mast and set sail in West Michigan! With both the Great Lakes and the many inland lakes in the area, you’re never far away from an opportunity to be on the water. If you don’t have much boating experience, fear not! Many places will take you and your crew out on the water, and do most of the heavy lifting for you. Of course, you can also rent everything yourself and set your own course. No matter your skill level, take some time to explore West Michigan’s waterways!
