From Chicago its about 5 hrs north... straight up 94 to 131 and that takes you right up to it... you can fit any size boat on it the biggest I've seen is a 43 Nor-Tech. It's 300 ft at its deepest point and is 22 miles long probably 2 miles wide at its widest. There isn't a weed in the lake it is 100% sand and you can see the bottom even at 30 feet its honestly the most beautiful lake I've ever seen. Best sand bar in MI also...


Let me know if you plan a trip... I have a slip there this year, and could probably get you one for the weekend if you wanted, its 30 dollars a night and they are covered slips

Best launch is the marina, but the bridge launch is good too, I put my 290 in there a few times... the number to the marina is (231) 322-4495
Just let me know any weekend and I'll be up there... I have the first week of July off as well so I'll be there for that also & all holidays

That place looks like a blast. Is it like that every weekend? Are there any places to go by boat to eat? Not sure if it looks like a place for my 5 and 9 year old.

There's something for everyone... the families hang back and on the outside and the crazies are in the inside... there is a bar/restaurant called the dockside that you can boat to, also the Alden Bar... you wouldn't be disappointed
