Chester Street Park

Reviewed By IllinoisKate1

This narrow park is located on the south side of the Pentwater Channel. You must drive several miles around Pentwater Lake to reach this location, but it's worth the trip. There are restrooms at the entrance on the left. As you walk along the boardwalk, there are a couple information signs about the area. Continue on towards the channel. We saw many people fishing from this boardwalk. The boardwalk leads you to full access to the South Pier walkway and a great sunset view. Benches along the walkway.

It had been years since our last visit. We had a bit of a reunion with some of our family and we were not disappointed. We’ve enjoyed this Park for decades. It remains relaxed, well cared for, and the staff reflect the environment. The easy access to the beach and the family atmosphere remains a family favourite.

Pentwater Historical Society Museum

Reviewed By douglasatmanand

The museum is tucked away in a beautiful church building off the main street, but is well worth discovering. Learn about the fascinating history of this charming village, that was previously a logging and brick making center after the big Chicago fire.

Reviewed By Adventurer7976

My husband and I got married 5 days ago and made a special effort to visit Jomagrha on our cycling trip honeymoon. We have enjoyed visiting Jomagrha over the past few years from the Grand Rapids area each July enjoying the Michigan made wines with Michigan grown grapes at this Winery. Quaint tasting room with a special touch from the family run Winery. It's a must stop if you're in the area.

THis place has unique mini golf adventures not just grass and a hole. Better than most mini golf places. Kids love it, go every year. We also do the double go-karts which are great because you can have a child go with you. There is also a game room and a small playground. It's awesome and a family tradition.
