Lake Drive Marine has been around for 38 years and for good reason.

The Coldwater, Mich. marina has serviced a variety of boat customers over the years and specializes in fishing boats.

It’s handy, too. The marina has immediate access to Coldwater and Long lakes, so you can get an on-the-water test of any boat you’re looking to buy.

They currently sell Lund, Skeeter, Phoenix and Icon boats. They are longtime Mercury and Yamaha outboard dealers.

Dredging Project from Hudson Lake Access to Main Lake to Begin Soon

Details

Published: 26 June 2025

IDNR Report

Public access to Hudson Lake may be disrupted beginning early July through the fall due to a dredging project aimed at improving boating access.

The project, funded by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Lake and River Enhancement (LARE) program and Hudson Lake Conservation Association, will hydraulically pump sediment from the access channel and a navigation channel between the lake’s east and west basins to an upland area on the northwest end of the lake. This may result in temporary blockage or restrictions near these sites due to dredging equipment or piping on the lake.

The DNR advises lake users to plan accordingly and boat responsibly near any obstacles until the completion of the project.  

For more information on the LARE program and its current projects, please see lare.dnr.IN.gov. More information on public access sites is at on.IN.gov/adopt-a-ramp.
