This lake is so wonderful. The best way to spend a winter day is on the slopes of nearby Bittersweet, and a nice close by hotel is Kalamazoo Super 8 Motel. Long Lake gets a typical amount of rainfall; the month of September is the wettest with most of the rain, and the driest of the months is February. And if you're still looking for more outdoors fun stuff just keep reading. A round of golf at
 
               nearby Shamrock Hills Golf Club is a fine way to kill some time, and if you've had enough of Long Lake, Story Lake is nearby.
Long Lake is a place with many visitors from Kalamazoo-Portage, and why not camp at American Campgrounds if you're here at Long Lake. If you came for an overnight stay Camp Kaskitowa is a delightful site to camp; Long Lake is not the only place nearby, Clear Lake is a nearby lake.

Buell Lake
If you see all-star water sports being performed, just know it's me....

Timber Ridge
It is not very big, but all of the employees are cool and you never have to wait in line to get on the lift. They sometimes seem to overestimate the amount of snow that they have also. I sometimes wonder if they actually measure the snowpiles that have been plowed in the parking lot instead of what is actually on the hill....

Bittersweet
Bittersweet has enormous snow-making capacity and is consistently the first to open in SW Michigan. Their vertical is only 350 ft, but that's about 100 more than any other resort in SW Michigan. As noted, their lift system is impressive, particularly the high speed detachable quad, but lines can get a little long on late December weekends. Their terrain park has a good variety of boxes, jumps, etc. Very friendly people....Yea you guys rock i love the snow...Ahh yes, Bittersweet Ski Area... Michigan skiing at it's very best. The drops in these part of the country are not that impressive but I think Bittersweet makes the most of it. I do recommend this ski area....

Hampton Lake
14 miles away
Can the general public access the lake or is it private for Greenspire residents?...Hampton lake is a public lake in Portage south of Centre street, about a 1/3 of a mile east of US 131.  It does not have a public access, I'm not even sure gas powered boats are allowed, but they're not needed because the lake is not very big.  But it is spring fed and DNR stocked so it is very clean and very good fishing.  I live in Greenspire Apartments which is partially on the lake and my roommate and I fish Hampton lake often. Row boats are available to rent in the office. ...
