Onekama Township was recently able to pave the drives leading to the boat launch at Andy's Point off Lake Park Drive in Onekama. The access is on the northeast side of Portage Lake.

The ramp into the water had previously been paved, but the access and circular drive were gravel

The project was funded through Manistee County Community Foundation with $5000. Although the location is owned by the DNR, that agency could not apply for a grant. However, the township was able to request the funds.

Onekama Trail Project

from various sources

The village and township of Onekama, Michigan have joined forces to build a 3-mile multi-use trail that will extend from 8-Mile Road (County 598) westward to the outskirts of the village. Roger Burger, Onekama village president, says, “Year-round recreational opportunities are important to the village, along with the other aspects of our community.”

Initially proposed in 2024, the project is moving forward and this week announced that Fleis & Vandenbrink have been selected to begin the engineering and design phase.

The team will begin developing concepts to share with the community before moving into the next phase. Construction could begin in 2026.
