Just 20 minutes north of Manistee, Onekama is the first community along the M-22 Scenic Heritage Route. Commonly known as the “Two Lake Town,” Onekama offers a combination of Lake Michigan shoreline and peaceful views of Portage Lake.
A wonderful natural lake, Portage is a great place for boating and paddle boarding with great places along the shore to stay and eat.
At the end of 13 Mile Road, this secluded beach is great place to enjoy the lake and see the sunset without the crowds.
Over one hundred years old, the resort not only holds historic value but continues to provide Onekama with a place for people to gather and has been restored into a great place to stay.
On Portage Point Drive, this well pumps crystal clear drinking-water and is known as the “Fountain of Youth.”
The Manistee County Fair is every year in late August, but the fairgrounds are utilized throughout the year for different events.
Portage Point Resort has been in operation for over 100 years and has recently been restored to the majestic vacation escape it once was. With an infinity pool and access to both Portage Lake and Lake Michigan, it’s a water recreation paradise. Stay for awhile or stop by for a bite at the Portage Point Cafe. You won’t regret the view. On your way to the resort on Portage Point Drive, stop at the Artesian well, locally known as the Fountain of Youth, to fill up with fresh water right out of the pump.
