This Is Bass Lake - Paperback

by The Bass Lake History Committee (Author)

Discover why generations have been drawn to this enchanting west Michigan retreat, and why families and friends continue to call Bass Lake their summer home.

More than a century ago, campers became captivated by the serene beauty of the small lake near Pentwater, nestled beside Lake Michigan. Early on, getting to Bass Lake was challenging. Accommodations were sparse. Living conditions were primitive. Despite the difficulties, newcomers' hearts were charmed by this tranquil haven-the undeniable lure of the lake, surrounding woods, nearby sugar-sand beaches, and the restorative effect of spending cherished time with loved ones.

Today, Bass Lake cottagers, campers, and other annual visitors embrace the same sense of belonging when returning to this beloved spot. In This Is Bass Lake: A Destination for Generations, the Bass Lake Property Owners Association presents an authentic telling of the lake's story by weaving together narratives of voices past and present and offering a nostalgic look at treasured summer traditions.
