## Frequently Asked Questions — Pretty Lake

### Where is Pretty Lake located?

The Pretty Lake that Dockside services is in Texas Township, Kalamazoo County — about 3.3 miles southeast of Mattawan village. Mattawan postal addresses cover both Kalamazoo and Van Buren counties, so Pretty Lake addresses often read "Mattawan, MI" even though the lake itself is in Kalamazoo County.

### What fish are in Pretty Lake?

Anglers report largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike, and bluegill. One logged catch on Lake-Link was a 38-inch / 12-pound northern pike — the lake punches above its weight for pike. Good panfish for kids and casual fishing.

### What's Pretty Lake Camp?

Pretty Lake Camp has been operating on the lake since 1916, on roughly 287 wooded acres of shoreline. The camp serves children from local communities and is a defining feature of the lake — much of the shoreline is camp property rather than private residential. The camp is independent of Dockside Fuel Services; we serve the residential lakefront properties around the camp.

### Is Pretty Lake all-sports?

Pretty Lake is small enough that it isn't listed in Michigan's special local watercraft controls (Regulation 39, Kalamazoo County), so default state rules apply: slow-no-wake within 100 feet of shore. There's no posted lake-specific speed cap that we've been able to verify — confirm with neighbors or the camp office before running ski boats hard.

### What's the closest gas and grocery to Pretty Lake?

Mattawan village is about 3 miles north on the M-43 / Main Street corridor. Texas Corners (8th & Q Avenue) is the next-nearest hub for gas and supplies. Both are about a 10-minute drive.

### How do I get on the Pretty Lake weekly fuel delivery route?

Text PRETTY to (877) 257-FUEL. Reply Y to confirm SMS delivery alerts and we add you to Pretty Lake's weekly route. No credit card required to join — pay only when you actually order fuel. You can also sign up online at docksidefuelservices.com if you prefer.

### What kind of fuel do you deliver to Pretty Lake?

REC-90 ethanol-free marine gasoline — the recommended fuel for boats, jet skis, pontoons, side-by-sides, generators, and most outdoor power equipment. The lack of ethanol prevents phase separation in tanks that sit unused for stretches, which protects engines on lakeside properties that don't see daily use.

### How many gallons can be delivered to Pretty Lake in one day?

Up to 780 gallons per route (700-gallon truck plus 80-gallon Fuel Mule). Reservations are first-reserve, first-fill — once Pretty Lake's weekly route fills up, additional requests join a FIFO waitlist and auto-promote when a reservation cancels.

### Is there a delivery minimum on Pretty Lake?

No minimum gallons — the trip fee ($30 dockside or $15 curbside) is the same whether we fill 5 gallons or 100. Most customers order 20-50 gallons per trip. The flat trip fee covers the cost of bringing the truck to your lake; per-gallon pricing is the current REC-90 market rate plus $1.49/gal.
