Gun Lake / Yankee Springs

Welcome to Gun Lake & Yankee Springs

For those who would rather spend a summer afternoon on the water, take a morning walk through the woods, or come home to a little more space and privacy, the Gun Lake and Yankee Springs area offers a lifestyle that’s hard to replicate.

At the center of it all is Gun Lake—one of Southwest Michigan’s largest inland lakes and a longtime destination for boating, fishing, swimming, and lake life. Surrounding it, the wooded landscape of Yankee Springs creates a beautiful backdrop of lakes, trails, rolling terrain, and natural areas that make this part of West Michigan feel like a getaway without having to leave home.

The real estate is just as varied as the landscape. You’ll find year-round lake homes and cottages, homes with deeded or shared lake access, established neighborhoods, wooded properties, acreage, and private country settings. Whether your dream is a home on the water, room for a pole barn, or simply a quiet place surrounded by trees, there are plenty of ways to make this area home.

Where Lake Life Meets the Outdoors

Yankee Springs Recreation Area encompasses thousands of acres and multiple inland lakes, offering year-round opportunities to hike, mountain bike, horseback ride, paddle, fish, camp, swim, snowshoe, and explore.

Gun Lake brings another dimension to the lifestyle. Summer days can mean boating, swimming, fishing, or gathering with friends by the water, while the surrounding lakes and natural areas offer quieter places to paddle and explore.

And while the area can feel wonderfully removed from the pace of everyday life, Middleville, Hastings, Wayland, and other nearby communities keep shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences within reach.

It’s the kind of place where weekends can feel like vacation—and home can be the place you’d rather be.
