Locals joke about that sometimes. Summers here are a dream… warm sand, cool water, and endless blue skies. But don’t write off the winters. Snow blankets the landscape, turning it into a wonderland for skiing and snowmobiling.
The county seat is Ludington, a lakeside town on the shores of Lake Michigan. Known for its beautiful beaches and historic lighthouse, it’s a favorite spot to enjoy the water and relax.
