If there’s one thing Michiganders love, it’s being near the waterfront. Scratch that – if there’s one thing Michiganders REALLY love, it’s enjoying a delicious meal or beverage along the waterfront. Thankfully, our state offers plenty of chances to do just that. There’s one locale here in the Great Lakes State that perfectly combines the best of both worlds, and you’ll undoubtedly want to visit for yourself.

Red Dock Cafe is located at 219 N Union St in the lovely village of Douglas.

Red Dock is situated smack dab on a dock that juts into Kalamazoo Lake, where you’ll have the chance to watch boats float peacefully by. Talk about a great summer day.

As if that weren’t enough, boaters are even welcome to dock at the restaurant itself and stop in for a quiet bite or a drink with friends. Red Dock is truly one of a kind.
