A Lakefront Community
White Lake is a natural freshwater lake formed by the White River, a deep-water channel connected to Lake Michigan.
It's situated in West Central Michigan's Muskegon County and is surrounded by the towns of Montague and Whitehall. Grand Rapids is around 60 miles away, perfect for a day trip.
The Muskegon County Airport is under 30 miles away, and the Mercy Health Lakeshore Campus is under 20 miles away for easy travel and medical care.
Ready for a Comeback
In its early days, the 2,500-acre lake suffered the side effects of a century's worth of numerous sawmills, logging activity, and heavy manufacturing along its shoreline.
However, since the 1980s, conservation and clean-up efforts have rehabilitated the area, setting White Lake up to become the leading economic driver in the region again.
