It amazes me how so much beauty and history can exist on an area surrounded by five great lakes. If you grow up in Michigan, visit here, and especially if you make your home here, you know how the lakes are a part of all of us. For most of my life trips to the beach meant a trip to Holland, Grand Haven, Ludington, Traverse City, or Muskegon. This year our family discovered a real jewel on the shores of Lake Michigan in the town of Montague. Whitehall and Montague are a couple of twin cities located just north of Muskegon, on White Lake which following the channel leads to lake Michigan.
What makes Montague so special? Half the tourists and twice the fun. Montague has a real live Soda Foundation at Lipka's Drug Store. The center of town features a working giant weather Vein, and following the road toward the beach you are treated by the view of an outstanding lighthouse, that you can see from the shores . The area boasts fresh water fishing, bed and breakfasts, and restaurents not part of national chains. Somehow the twin cities have managed to bring the past and present together in harmony. The general store has some of the best places to buy quilting fabric, and my favorite store in the area is called the Hokey Pokey.
I have neclosed their officl website in case anyone wants to see more of the area.
