Chicago Point Resort is situated on Gun Lake in the foothills of what some have called the mini-Appalachian mountains of southwestern Michigan. Surrounding Gun Lake’s 2600 acres of clean spring fed waters is 20,000 acres of State owned land part of which is known as Yankee Springs Recreation Area, a great place to explore.

Before Michigan was settled, Indians of different tribes found the area abundant with game and good fishing. An Indian birchbark canoe, a dug out canoe and Indian burial site have been discovered here, along with arrowheads, and other relics. The region around Chicago Point served as encampment area for the Ottawa, Chippewa and and Patawatomi tribes
