Lakeshore Lifestyle

Muskegon, Michigan is a unique combination of a dynamic business community with a recreational appeal. A live-work-play mindset influenced by the area’s 27 lakes, 26 miles of Lake Michigan sandy beaches, and annual festivals inspired by music, art, culture, and food.

Along Lake Muskegon, and not far from Viridian Shores, is Downtown Muskegon which serves as the cultural hub. Dine with a waterfront view and farm-fresh menus. Enjoy specialty coffee, craft beer, gourmet cheese, and organic pizza. Downtown Muskegon is also home to the newly constructed Farmers Market, one of the largest in the state.

Experience four seasons of recreational activities. In warmer months, bike 12 miles of paved Lakeshore trails with beautiful views of Lake Michigan, the channel, the South Pier Light House, and sand dunes with access to historical and maritime attractions.

Enjoy 12 miles of groomed lighted cross-country trails at the Muskegon Winter Sports Complex in the winter months. The park also has skating rinks, snowshoe trails, and an 850 ft. luge track.

The region’s water sports include open-lake sailing and high-powered yachting, powerboating, windsurfing, and channel kayaking. Muskegon is also known for world class fishing.
