WELCOME TO PENTWATER
OCEANA COUNTY, MICHIGAN
Christened "Penned Waters" by early Indian settlers, Pentwater is situated on both Lake Michigan and Pentwater Lake.

Incorporated in 1867, Pentwater has long been a busy harbor village. Lumbering, commercial fishing, brick making and farming helped make it the largest settlement on the Lake Michigan shoreline between Muskegon and Manistee.

Sportfishing, swimming and boating on area lakes and rivers; and shopping in our unique gift and craft stores help make Pentwater the popular resort it is today.

Always Changing!
Always Beautiful!
