Downtown Saugatuck
Saugatuck
A lakeside town known for its artist community, with galleries on Butler Street, boutiques, and marinas.
Saugatuck is known as the 'Art Coast of Michigan.' Since the founding of the Ox-Bow art school in 1910, it has attracted many artists. The town center along Butler Street and Water Street is lined with galleries, boutiques, ice cream shops, and restaurants. By the river, you'll find a marina and wooden boardwalks, and boat tours run from here along the Kalamazoo River out to Lake Michigan. Together with Douglas across the river, Saugatuck forms a twin town, ideal for a relaxed half-day of strolling. Parking is tight in summer.
