5 Lakes Resort is located on beautiful Butternut Lake in Oceana County. Butternut Lake is approximately 35 acres in area, and is completely private. Gasoline motors are prohibited on our lake. A deep and extremely clear lake, Butternut provides some of the absolute best bass and bluegill fishing in the area. Our resort also has dock facilities and boats on McLaren Lake, one of the largest Lakes in Oceana County. Water-skiing, boating, and swimming are fantastic on this scenic lake, which also provides excellent walleye and northern pike fishing. Nearby White River provides excellent trout fishing, as area fishermen look forward to the spring steelhead runs and fall salmon fishing.
