With the soul of a snow-covered lodge and the repose of a sun-soaked beach house, Bostwick Lake Inn sits aside the tranquil waters of Bostwick Lake on the outskirts of Rockford, Michigan.

A century's worth of history and character can be felt amongst the warm hues and knotty pine of the "BLI." The four-season deck is the favored spot for dining with the option to enjoy a craft beer or cocktail on the beach during warm weather months. The restaurant menu is highlighted by farm-fresh fare, smoke-tinged shareables, and imaginative takes on traditional American cuisine. Our regular guests rate the Potato Crusted Walleye and Crispy Brussels Sprouts as can't-miss classics. Whether you are seeking a destination for new adventures or a haven away from the daily grind–know that you can always **escape to the lake.**

About Second Saturday Events  
  
The Land Conservancy’s 20 nature preserves contain an incredible diversity of natural features including prairies, forests, and wetlands that are great places to explore. However, invasive species and altered natural processes threaten to degrade the ecological quality of many of our preserves. Active management is often needed to ensure the long-term sustainability of these wonderful natural areas, and we need your help.  
  
Fortunately, through our Second Saturdays event series, there are now plenty of opportunities to get involved!  
  
From 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on the second Saturday of every month, the Land Conservancy will host a volunteer event that focuses on ecological restoration activities including invasive species removal, seed collecting, and native plant installation. Volunteers may also be involved with trail maintenance, general clean-up, or other tasks that help visitors better enjoy our magnificent natural areas.
