Swimming in Lake Michigan or Silver Lake is the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer's day! Lake Michigan is known for its clean and crystal-clear waters making it a popular lake for swimmers.

A paddle through the waters of Lake Michigan is the coolest way to see the unique land formation of Michigan. Michigan shorelines are known for their cool rock and sand formations. See the Silver Lake Sand Dunes from a different perspective aboard a kayak or if you have great balancing skills a paddle board. Paddling is a great form of exercise and by gliding atop the water’s surface you have a higher chance of spotting fish or sunken mysteries and treasures. If Lake Michigan is too big or wavy for your liking, tone it down by paddling across smaller Silver Lake. This just as clear lake offers the ease of paddling without the challenges of larger Lake Michigan Don’t worry if you don’t have your own kayak or paddle board, you can rent one for an hour or the whole day at Wave Club Water Sports!
Another great water activity on Lake Michigan or Silver Lake is boating or jet skiing.
