Onekama is a small town with two lakes - Portage Lake and Lake Michigan. Portage Lake is a large lake about four miles long and up to two miles across that connects to Lake Michigan via a short channel. Creating an ideal getaway, Portage Lake never seems over crowded because many people go out to Lake Michigan to boat. One of the nicest casinos in Michigan (The Little River) is situated half way between our cottage and Manistee. Onekama is a ten minute drive north of Manistee and its historic downtown. Golf abounds in the area with Arcadia Bluffs, The Heathlands, Crystal Mountain, and The Manistee National to name just a few. Crystal Mountain provides a winter getaway that is a short fifteen minute drive to some of the best skiing in the mid-west. If you want to go to the big city then Traverse City is a beautiful scenic drive one hour north.
