Lake Allegan

Lake Allegan is located in Valley Township, just outside of the city of Allegan in Allegan County. This lake of 1500 acres is actually the backwaters of the Kalamazoo River behind the Allegan Dam.

There are several things that I like about this area, one being that  Allegan County has a lot of wooded acreage to enjoy in the Allegan State Game Area and that some of that land fronts on the lake, providing a natural feel.

Another  thing I really like about the area is amount of wildlife, from deer to wildfowl many creatures make this area their home. For me, it is always an unexpected bonus to catch sight  of one of God’s creatures in it’s natural habitat.

The close proximity of Allegan, which is the county seat of Allegan County, means you are close to all the conveniences for those summertime supplies. Allegan in an interesting town with a number of historic homes. The subject of a future post.
