Local Area/Things to Do

The port city of Ludington features plenty of things to see and do for the whole family.

With miles of sandy Lake Michigan beaches, charter sport-fishing, golf, tennis, canoeing, and unique restaurants & shops, there is something for everyone and every season. Visitors to Ludington can enjoy beautiful fall colors, seaplane rides, family fun parks, nature trails, the Lake Michigan S.S. Badger Carferry, Hamlin Lake, Ludington State Park and Big Point Sable Lighthouse.

History is alive in Ludington, Michigan. From its early maritime and lumbering days, visitors can travel back in time to Father Jacques Marquette’s Pere Marquette Lake landing which is depicted in the murals and statues at Waterfront Park.

White Pine Village is another popular attraction which offers a time capsule of the days when white pine was king and was affectionately known as “green gold”. Treasures from those early days in the 1800’s can be found at antique shops and art galleries scattered throughout Ludington.
