Lake County Chamber of Commerce visitor information in western Michigan

Lake County is truly a county for all seasons. It offers year-round enjoyment to all its residents and guests. State and Federal lands make up over 48% of our county and provide outstanding opportunities for hiking, bird watching, swimming, camping, cross country skiing, and wildlife viewing. We have several hundred miles of trails for snowmobile and ORV riding, many lakes and rivers for year-round fishing and thousands of acres of forest land for a full slate of hunting activities. The Pere Marquette River is known world wide for its excellent trout and salmon fishing and for some of West Michigan's most scenic canoe trips.

And don't forget, Lake County also offers unique gift and antique shopping. We also celebrate several long standing annual events such as Baldwin's "Original" Blessing of the Bikes, followed by Irons Flear Roast & Ox Market, West Michigan's Longest Yard Sale, Luther Days, Idlewild's Music Fest, Troutarama and Salmon Run 5K & 10K.

Idlewild Music

So, whether your activities are in our beautiful forests or on our crystal clear waters, your family and friends will find a superb stage for four season fun!
