Riley Trails
Riley TrailsOnly 2.9 miles from the house with easy hiking through the trees and over water.
The Stu Visser Trails are a great place to stop for a walk between the house and town. There's parking to the north off Lakewood and to the south off Ottawa Beach Road. The longer trail follows a stream for about a mile each way as an "out and back" trail. There's also a small loop around some wetlands at the south end.

This is the big beach with the most space, parking and amenities in the area. During peak season, it is likely to have the most people. You can walk the pier, see the lighthouse, get a snack, go swimming or just lay out.

Kirk Park is around a 20 minute drive north on Lake Shore Drive. It's a good stop if you are going to Grand Haven anyway, or if you want to see some dogs, as it's also a dog beach.

OBI is a local favorite across the street from Lake Macatawa. The perch is a must-order. Plus, it's only a mile from the house.

The self-proclaimed 5-star dive bar is as unpretentious as promised. The kitchen is usually open til 10, but I'd call ahead to be sure if you're looking for a late meal nearby.

여행 팁
관습과 문화
Walking the Shoreline
It is entirely lawful to walk the Lake Michigan shoreline up to the high water mark, which is considered to be part of the Public Trust. You may see private property signs--and it is private property--but you are allowed to walk through along the lake. I wouldn't set up and stay, however; that would be considered trespassing. Also, you have to get to the lake through public access; Public Trust doesn't allow you to walk through someone's property to get to the lake. Enjoy the lake! It's for all of us!
