There are many things to do and see in the Ludington area. Downtown offers a spacious beach, mini-golf, shuffleboard, and a well equipped playground. If you feel like strolling, take a walk on the breakwater and see the Ludington harbor lighthouse, or walk to the downtown area for your shopping pleasure. You can also enjoy seeing the S.S. Badger carferry make its daily runs to Manitowoc, Wisconsin.


Many fine dining and casual restaurants are near the downtown area. Golf courses and city tennis courts assure that golfers and tennis players will be accommodated on their vacation.

Directly across the lake from our resort is the popular Ludington State Park. Whether you enjoy hiking, canoeing, or just relaxing while enjoying natural settings, we're sure you'll find it here. Swimming, boating, sailing, windsurfing, and skiing are enjoyed by many on a lake that is big enough for all. At Willow-By-The-Lake Resort, we have rental boats with motors available. If you bring your own boat, dock space is available for a fee.

Hamlin Lake and its bayous offer an outstanding variety of fish. Our guests have brought in perch, crappie, bluegill, northern pike, large and small mouth bass, in addition to walleye. Over 600,000 walleye planted in recent years are now game size.

Lake Michigan salmon and steelhead are seasonally plentiful at the dam site and charter boat salmon fishing is available at the Ludington harbor.

Directions:

Travel US-10 through the city of Ludington to Lake Michigan and turn right on North Lakeshore Drive. At approximately 2-1/2 miles, as M-116 curves left, turn right on Lakeshore (just past the Country Store). Travel Lakeshore Drive north, turing left over the bridge (at Waterside Resort), and follow the shoreline of Hamlin Lake until you see our sign (about 4 miles).
