Portage Lake Trading Post

Portage Lake Trading Post is a convenient, local favorite stop on the Portage Chain of Lakes (Huron River Chain of Lakes), located at 9270 McGregor Rd in Pinckney, Michigan. This longtime party store and convenience shop sits near the water in the heart of the chain area, making it an easy pull-off for boaters, residents, and visitors cruising between lakes like Portage, Baseline, and others.

As your go-to spot for essentials, it offers a solid selection of beer, wine, liquor (including a wide variety of Michigan craft beers and spirits, plus ready-to-drink options), lottery tickets, snacks, basic groceries, ice, frozen meals, and everyday necessities. Under recent ownership, it’s become more family-friendly with added features and a welcoming vibe—perfect for grabbing supplies before heading out on the water, stocking up for a lakeside bonfire, or picking up last-minute items during your chain adventures.

Whether you’re docking nearby, driving through Pinckney, or just exploring the Portage Chain, this spot captures the laid-back, community spirit of the area: quick service, local favorites, and everything you need to keep the good times going on the water.
