Overview

About the Community

Set in the heart of the Manistee National Forest, Baldwin is a haven for those who enjoy the great outdoors. Surrounded by many lakes and rivers, Baldwin is a prime area to fish, camp and hunt. With a quaint, small-town feel, you won’t find large hotels and restaurants, just family-owned businesses and restaurants. The locals welcome you with friendly smiles and small-town hospitality. Baldwin is just 30 miles from the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan in Ludington and a little over an hour away from Grand Rapids shopping, dining and nightlife.
