Why Michigan Lake Products
Michigan Lake Products has been engineering, building and installing docks since 1990.
We perfected the design of vinyl dock systems that have repeatedly proven their ability to withstand the extreme variety of weather conditions found in Northern Michigan.
Along with dock systems, MLP offers a full line of outdoor lakefront products including boat lifts, dock accessories, headhouses, stairway systems, walkways, decks, fencing, railing systems and more.
MLP has a full fabrication facility where we design and build custom projects to suit your lakefront needs.
We place customer service and the quality of products as the top of our priorities. A family owned and operated business, we are proud that over 96% of all the materials used to produce our products are manufactured right here in Michigan or in the USA.
Your dock and its associated equipment are an integral part of your life while at "The Lake" and they should reflect your good taste as well as enhance your experience of being on the water.
So go ahead ... Live On the Water. Love Life. IN GOD WE TRUST
