Located on Bass Lake, Pentwater
just 15 miles south of Ludington
BASS LAKE - Excellent swimming &
fishing! Some of the fish that can be caught in Bass Lake are Northern
Pike, Bass, Blue Gills, Crappie & Bullheads. You will find that the
fish have a sweeter flavor out of Bass Lake due to all the flowing
wells. Bass Lake is about 525 acres fed by many artesian (flowing)
wells along the entire East side. Bass Lake is not a very deep lake,
only about 25' in its deepest part. Bass Lake has an outlet into Lake
Michigan with a dam. Bass Lake is a sandy bottom lake and we have a
fine beach at SMERT'S RESORT for your sunbathing! Bass Lake gradually
goes deep in front of SMERT'S RESORT making it ideal for children. At
the end of our pier, it is only about 30" to 40" deep. We always
suggest that children be supervised at all times by an adult,
especially small children.

| HISTORY -
The land was patented to Charles
Mears (a famous lumbering tycoon) in 1854. The Trappers Cottage (part
of Slabsides Cottage) was probably already there. Charles Mears most
likely built Root Cottage for his own use somewhere between 1854 and
1890. Prior to 1890, the hotel was built and established as one of THE
places to go for the elite of Chicago. Some of the finest meals were
served in the hotel dining room. The Chicago Socialites would take a
train to Muskegon and then a stagecoach to the resort. Around 1890, it
became known as McKee's Resort. McKee was believed to be a relative to
Charles Mears. Lazi Dais Cottage was a trading post
and Gardenside Cottage was a stagecoach depot with the stagecoach
drivers staying upstairs between runs. A dance pavillion extended out
over Bass Lake in the area of our main pier with a boat house
underneath. In 1920 the resort was purchased by Thomas Schlick and it
became known as Schlick's Resort. At that time, he built Lakeview
Cottage, Cora Cottage, Hideaway Cottage and renovated the other
buildings into cottages. In 1973, the present owners purchased the
resort and the name was changed again to it's present name. |
