Search Lakeside Michigan

Lakeside is in Berrien County, and in the West-Southwest Region. This community is located southwest of Kalamazoo between Benton Harbor and Union Pier along Interstate 94 near the shore of Lake Michigan and the Indiana state line.

At the turn of the century, Lakeside was home to some of the most famous Lake Michigan shoreline resorts. Lakeside's history, like its Harbor Country sister towns, began with logging that fed nearby Chicago's need for lumber. Farming soon replaced the disappearing forests to keep the land lush and green. This rural lakeshore location supported the next economic wave as a popular vacation destination for nearby Chicagoans beginning in the early 1920s.

Today, Lakeside still is a popular vacation spot for not only Chicagoans, but as well as the rest of the Naiton.
