Onekama

Onekama is a small village on the shore of Portage Lake, an inland lake connected to Lake Michigan by a channel, so boaters can reach the big lake right from home. Life here centers on the water: sailing, fishing, swimming and summer evenings on the dock, with the village park, beach and local businesses close by. Arcadia and its golf, and Manistee's shops and services, are a short drive away.

Most Onekama real estate is tied to Portage Lake: lakefront homes, cottages and lake-access properties, plus wooded lots and homes in the surrounding township. Waterfront here is limited, which is why well-priced Portage Lake homes draw strong interest from buyers across Michigan and the Midwest.
