Whitehall

Few cities in Michigan have a history as closely tied to lumbering and Great Lakes commerce as Whitehall. Set on the north shore of White Lake, the city faces an inland waterway that reaches Lake Michigan through the White Lake Channel. In the 19th century, White Lake’s protected harbor supported sawmills and lumber shipping, leaving an industrial story beneath today’s marina-oriented shoreline. Whitehall and neighboring Montague share the White Lake basin, where boating, fishing and lakefront parks shape daily life. The White River Light Station, built in 1875, preserves a tangible link to navigation on this stretch of coast.
