Northwest of Dexter, the Portage Chain of Lakes strings together all-sports water — Portage, Baseline, and their connected lakes — lined with everything from original cottages to substantial year-round rebuilds.
The Pinckney Recreation Area's trails border the lakes, and downtown Dexter and Ann Arbor stay within an easy drive. School district varies by shoreline, so confirm address by address.
