Relaxed Lake Michigan Shoreline Communities
Enjoy the relaxing coastal vibe of the North Coast Region of Manistee County. This region is comprised of three small communities: Arcadia, Onekama and Bear Lake, each offering a charming selection of family-owned shops and restaurants, farm stands, diverse waterways, and quaint, small-town appeal.
The North Coast Region runs along 25 miles of Lake Michigan Shoreline in Manistee County and is the perfect location for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle to enjoy a restful retreat.
Choose the North Coast Region and get ready for toes in the sand, the soothing sound of waves as they meet the shoreline, abundant opportunities for paddling, boating or fishing, and epic sunsets that will keep you coming back time and again.
Portage Point Inn
The Historic Portage Point Inn is a gem of the North Coast Region. This premier vacation destination is positioned on a wooded peninsula between two lakes, Portage Lake and Lake Michigan, that are connected by a wide navigable channel with miles of sandy dunes and beaches. The lakes, beaches and dunes surrounding the resort are as captivating today as they were back in the early 1900's when steamships arrived from Chicago.
Since 1902, generations of families have come to Portage Point Inn to make vacation memories. Now a year-round resort, the guests of Portage Point Inn who have always enjoyed the busy summer season, can now to take advantage of the splendor of fall color tours, renewal of spring, and the quiet, peaceful grace of winter.
