Lakeshore of Saugatuck Winter Photos

Winter in Saugatuck, Michigan can be beautiful. The channel from downtown Saugatuck to Lake Michigan is currently frozen over.

The lakeshore is starting to ice up nearly 100 yards out from the shoreline. Last year I watched in amazement, as people walked on the ice over the lake. I didn't try it personally and wouldn't recommend trying this, but it has to be a weird feeling knowing they are on Lake Michigan.

These photo's were taken by Ted Swoboda a local photographer last year.

You can see the waves busting over the light house on the pier. This year the same scene is repeating itself.

The sunsets are still gorgeous and more spectacular with the snow. Some of the cloud formations are awesome as it gets colder.

Another photo of the waves crashing over the ice build up. You can see how far past the pier head the ice was built up.
