The Pere Marquette river is the major contributor of natural reproducing salmon in Lake Michigan. Salmon are also planted at the Ludington State Park. The mature salmon return to the Ludington waters each summer prior to their spawning runs. Ludington is also known for the reefs and drop-offs near the port. This unique structure around the port of Ludington attracts bait fish and huge salmon, steelhead, lake trout and brown trout.

In addition to fishing, there are many more family activities in and around Ludington.

For those that missed the Sea Grant Meeting...One way we can compare years to each other is to add up the total amount of water flowing down a river. Scientists usually start adding up these volumes of water on October 1, and end on Sept 30. We all know the last few years have been very rainy (and snowy at times!), which has caused the amount of water in our rivers to be much higher than normal.
