Pentwater, Michigan

 

Pentwater is home to the Pentwater Civic Band which plays concerts every Thursday night during the summer in the outdoor band shell at the village green, a park and natural ampitheatre located downtown on the shore of Pentwater Lake. The Pentwater Civic Band plays mostly marches, polkas, fight songs, and oldies and is made up of locals and summer residents who bring their instruments and perform for the community.

 

This  historic village on the western shore of Michigan and Lake Michigan. Pentwater's tree-lined streets show off charming Victorian homes and cottages framed by beautiful gardens. Almost everything is within walking distance of the marinas, retail district, public beach and village green.

 

Charles Mears State Park is located along the Lake Michigan shoreline. Paved campsite lots are surrounded by fine sand, with a swimming beach adjacent to the harbor pier. Shore fishing is very popular at Pentwater Lake in the fall. Fishing from piers adjacent to the park is also a popular year-round activity. During the winter, Pentwater Lake provides excellent ice fishing. There is an interpretive trail about one mile in length for hiking. It winds around to the tip of Old Baldy, a wooded and sand-blown dune that provides an excellent view of Lake Michigan's shoreline, and the town of Pentwater and the boat harbor. Snowmobiles are not allowed on the hiking/cross-country trails, but the activity is supported in the park. It also has a metal detecting area
