2023 Map of Hamlin Lake

About this map

Hamlin Lake dominates this coastal landscape, separated from the vast expanse of Lake Michigan by a complex system of dunes and ridges. Along its winding western shore, the community of Hamlin Village and the resort character of Piney Ridge sit nestled among the trees. The lake itself is defined by its irregular fingers, including North Bayou, Middle Bayou, and South Bayou, which provide sheltered waters behind the lake's primary basin. To the north, the protected Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness preserves a pristine stretch of shoreline, while the Manistee National Forest covers much of the inland territory.
