History OF

A Village Tradition

For over a century, the Walloon Lake General Store has been part of the rhythm of life in Walloon Lake. What began as a neighborhood market has grown alongside the Village while holding onto the welcoming, community-centered spirit that has defined it for generations.

More Than a General Store

For more than a century, the Walloon Lake General Store has been woven into the fabric of the Village. Generations of locals, seasonal residents, and visitors have passed through its doors—picking up everyday essentials, gathering food for days on the lake, and returning to a place that feels familiar year after year.

While the General Store has evolved with the community around it, its purpose has remained much the same: to serve Walloon Lake with quality goods, genuine hospitality, and a strong connection to the place we call home. Today, we’re proud to carry that tradition forward while celebrating the history that made the Village what it is today.

Great general store right in Walloon village. Accessible by car or by boat if you park at the dock across the street. Best selection of Walloon Lake shirts, hats, local drinks, etc. They also have all the essentials to make a meal if you are staying on the lake without going into town!

Grab a sandwich and eat at the tables with umbrellas on the porch outside 🙂
