Want a Funky dog? See a floating food truck serve hot dogs on a Michigan lake sandbar

Manitou Beach, Michigan is getting a summer twist: Eric Funk has turned a sandbar pastime at Devils Lake into a floating hot-dog stop. He built “Wieners on the Water” by removing the chassis from a 1992 Chevrolet box van and mounting it on a pontoon deck. Funk’s first outing was in July 2025, and the truck runs about every weekend from Memorial Day to Labor Day. He leaves the dock at noon, anchors by 12:30, and typically sells out by 4:30. Menu items include old-school dogs, a Mac dog, and a coney-style “Funky dog.”
