Golf in Bear Lake

Bear Lake is a small Manistee County community on the namesake inland lake in the wooded terrain of northwestern Michigan's resort corridor, a quiet lake village whose character reflects the cottage and resort traditions of a lake-country community that has maintained its modest scale while the northern Michigan resort corridor has developed more elaborate tourist infrastructure elsewhere. The Bear Lake area's character is defined by the lake itself, the surrounding Manistee County forest, and the quiet rural lifestyle that has attracted both seasonal cottagers and year-round residents who value the area's distance from the commercial activity of larger resort destinations. Golf near Bear Lake serves the combined market of lake-country residents and seasonal visitors in the Manistee County interior.
