Port Sheldon

Among Michigan’s Lake Michigan communities, Port Sheldon stands out for its position beside Pigeon Lake and the lake’s outlet to Lake Michigan. This Ottawa County lakeshore area is defined by a low, sandy shore, wooded dunes and water-based recreation rather than an urban centre. Port Sheldon takes its name from a 19th-century port settlement, recalling the commercial traffic that once used this stretch of coast. Pigeon Lake’s channel and its breakwaters mark the transition from sheltered inland water to the often changeable lake.
