General information

Whether you are already a resident, a visitor, or are just looking for a great place to live, work and raise your family, the Grass Lake Regional Chamber of Commerce welcomes you to spend some time exploring the many possibilities within the Grass Lake area.

Grass Lake offers a variety of activities and events for the family, including the 4th of July Parade and Chicken BBQ held in the community park on the lake; the Coe House Historical Museum; Heritage Day held in September at the Historic Michigan Central Railroad Depot downtown. Grass Lake is also home to Michigan’s Center for the Photographic Arts.

Similarly, Grass Lake has found itself a destination on the outboard racing circuit every year as the home of Michigan Hydroplane Racing with the Michigan Hydroplane Racing Association holding its annual “Wild Ones Regatta” on Grass Lake each September and became a nationally recognized site for outboard racing with the National Stock Outboard Races held on Grass Lake in the last week of July, 2009 and August 2012. Capping off that week was the “Traffic Jam’in” street fair in downtown Grass Lake where more than 4,000 people filled four blocks of downtown with family activities and fun to support local area non-profit organizations.
