With year-round public access to Lake Michigan, visitors can bring a kayak, paddleboard, jet skis, or wave runner and launch right from the beach in the spring and summer. Just be sure not to venture too far from the shore! This beach is perfect for the whole family - dogs included! Grab a cooler with some drinks and food for a day of fun in the sun.
Come winter, the shores are covered in snow and best suited for peaceful contemplation.
Whether you set out on the waters of the second-largest Great Lake in the country or take in the view from the shore, Lake Michigan seems endless from this vantage point. If you didn’t know better, you might think you are taking in the vastness of an ocean.
Prairie Shores is a hidden gem waiting to be found.
