Lake Macatawa has always been a favorite for fishermen. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) maintains three public boat launches, and there is public swimming and camping at the two units of Holland State Park. This unique park has space on both Lake Macatawa and Lake Michigan. The acres of state land assure plenty of room for hiking and exploring. Fishermen enjoy catching Bluegill and Crappie and larger game fish such as Walleye, Northern Pike, Muskie and Chinook Salmon, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, and Brown Trout. In winter, true fishermen don't let the cold stop them: they can hardly wait until the ice is thick enough to spud a hole and drop in a line. Charter fishing can also be arranged from here.
