Information: "Hamlin Lake touches Manistee National Forest on the north, towering dunes in the west and miles of undeveloped wilderness all around. This man made lake originated during the logging hey-day when lumbermen dammed the Big Sable River to make an enormous holding pond for trees felled upstream. Today, Hamlin Lake dam, located just inside Ludington State Park, marks a unique historical spot and popular beach. Swimmers and sunbathers enjoy the park's sandy beach, picnic lawns, concession stands, hiking paths and marked canoe path tracing the state park's shoreline."

Recreation
Hamlin Lake is a popular alternative to Lake Michigan for those who seek any kind of water recreation. Boaters gain easy access to the lake from a public launch, or you can visit one of the small marinas for boat rentals, gas, and supplies.
Hamlin Lake offers a smorgasbord of fish. Tiger muskie, northern pike, large and small mouth bass, perch, crappie, blue gill and over 600,000 walleye, planted several years ago, promise a superb catch. The fishing doesn't cool down in winter either. Tip-ups and shanties dot the ice as fishermen pull in delicious panfish and walleye.
