Winter on Lake Michigan is beautiful, but water safety continues to be an important topic.

Here are some tips to stay safe:
1. Beware of Ice Formations: Ice on Lake Michigan is rarely safe due to the lake’s constant movement, even if it appears solid.
2. Avoid Shore Ice: Never climb on snow mounds near the water or "ice volcanoes." Ice along the shore, including "ice shelves" can collapse into the lake. The water beneath is often frigid and turbulent, making rescue difficult.
3. Stay Away from Piers: Harsh waves may spill across the pier and pull you in. They may become slippery with ice and falling into the water could be deadly.

✨ Homeowner Spotlight ✨
If you drive along South Haven's North Shore Drive in the summertime, chances are you'll see Linda Lamb in a front yard, pulling weeds or tending to blooming flowers. Most real estate investors contract this type of work out and stay far away during turnover time, but then, Linda Lamb is not like most real estate investors. Hailing from a family of Ohio dairy farmers, Linda is no stranger to hard work, and she is known to roll up her sleeves and personally ensure that every detail of her property is perfect.
