Portage Lake Tours

Nothing beats relaxing by the water while you're on vacation. Enjoy a picnic at Portage Lake and then stay for a pretty sunset.

Situated in Onekama, this body of water is well worth including on your itinerary. But you'll find a great deal more to check out in this area. Little River Casino, Pierport Beach, and Douglas Valley Winery aren't too far away from Portage Lake.

9/10 Wonderful! (19 reviews)
Silver Sands Resort – A Hidden Gem! I had an incredible stay at Silver Sands Resort. The rooms were immaculately clean—truly some of the cleanest I’ve ever experienced. The staff was absolutely wonderful: friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. While the property is older, it’s very well maintained and has a charming, nostalgic feel that adds to its appeal. Everything was in great working order, and the atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. I highly recommend Silver Sands Resort to anyone looking for a comfortable, welcoming place to stay. I’ll definitely be back!
