When you're looking for a laid-back place to spend the day and want to avoid the oft-overwhelming crowds of Lake Michigan, Man Made Lake fits the bill. Snag a parking spot and make the short stroll to the water. Many visitors opt to swim at Man Made Lake when the conditions at Lake Michigan are too rough or cold. Its slightly inland location gives the lake a more peaceful atmosphere, so you can swim with the whole family.
Take time to play in the sand or set up your beach chairs for a bit of rest and relaxation under the sun. Other visitors opt to bring along their fishing lines, as Man Made Lake is home to plenty of marine creatures. For an extended adventure, head straight from this man made locale to Fifth Avenue Beach, which sits just adjacent. Manistee's 1st Street Beach is also close, so you've got plenty of options for visiting the Big Lake. Even when temperatures aren't quite suitable for swimming, Man Made Lake provides a scenic place to enjoy some fresh air and escape the stresses of daily life. Stay until sunset to appreciate pretty views.
