Located near Onekama, Portage Lake is north of Manistee and South of Frankfort on the shores of Manistee County in Michigan's lower peninsula. This aerial photo was taken from the west looking towards the pier lights, with the town of Onekama in the distance.
You're in the right place - Michigan's Sunset Coast (aptly named, for the gorgeous sunsets!). The beaches on Lake Michigan are clean, sandy, and very swimmable. There are excellent restaurants, extraordinary artists, great music, and plenty of outdoor activities. It's my favorite place, in the whole world.

Can't wait to hit the water this summer.
Please join me this summer to paint beautiful, northwest Michigan. I’ll be teaching three workshops. The first is a one-day, plein air basics class at the Oliver Art Center in Frankfort, on June 24. An easy way to get your feet wet for beginners, and good practice for others. I’ll do demonstrations and we’ll paint at a couple of nearby sites. In August I’ll again be teaching for the Glen Arbor Art Association. A three-day workshop at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore’s Thorsen Farm and nearby spots, August 7-9. More in-depth, with demos and concentration on light and color. From August 14-16 I will be with the Leelanau Community Cultural Center at the Old Art Building, in Leland. My first time teaching here, but it’s a location I love to paint. I have participated in “Leland Air,” their annual plein air event for the past three years. Below are the two paintings I did there a couple of weeks ago. Hope to see you up north. Visit the sponsors websites to sign up. Toward Pyramid Point, oil, 12" x 16" Lakeside birch, oil 13" x 10"

"Since these homesteaders were improving their land, they weren't very happy when lake levels were raised. Push came to shove and by 1871, a small ditch was dug to prevent the water level from being artificially raised." Generally known as the sportman's axe, the Hudson Bay is the axe historically used by Hunters and Trappers. Compact enough carry while travel, while packing enough punch to get through most jobs. This 24" fawn footed Hudson Bay axe is the collective effort between Victor and Council Tool. Drop forged in North Carolina by Council, one of America's last full size axe manufacturers, this axe is modeled after their premium line of Velvicut® tools. It's finished with minimal paint and pure linseed oil to condition the wood handle and reduce wear and tear on hands. What results is what you've come to expect from Victor - a classically designed, covetable tool that will live on.
Experience some of the prettiest views imaginable when you make your way down this breathtaking scenic drive in Michigan.
