Ludington State Park to raise Hamlin Lake after ice is gone
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources announced today that once all ice is off Hamlin Lake, Ludington State Park staff will begin the annual process of raising the Mason County lake to its summer water level – 2 feet above the winter level.
The lake-raising process is expected to take two to six weeks, depending upon precipitation during the period. Timing varies from year to year, but in the past two years it has taken place during April.
Ludington State Park, located at 8800 W. M-116 in Ludington, features scenic sand dunes, a shoreline vista, ponds, marshlands and forests.
For more information, please contact the park at 231-843-2423.
