 This area was called the Portage Park Addition and consisted of 3,500 lots including a golf course, but only a small fraction of these lots were ever sold and developed.By 1914, the Portage Point Inn was served by the steamships of the Northern Michigan Transportation Company, "SS Puritan" and "SS Missouri" and those of the Pere Marquette Line, providing direct service from Chicago and Milwaukee.From this year, the summer colony began to develop quietly and steadily.
