Discover Kalkaska County's Bear Lake

If you are looking for a more affordable option in Northwest Michigan for a lake with clean, clear water with sandy bottom and sandy beach, consider Bear Lake in Kalkaska County. This water is among the cleanest in the State of Michigan. On the right day, you can see the bottom in 30' of water! It is a 320 acre all-sports lake just north of M-72 between Kalkaska and Grayling. The Blue Bear Snowmobile Trail and thousands of acres of state land surround the water. Bear Lake is an all-sport lake with limited hours for high speed boating allowing for quiet fishing times in the early morning and late evening hours. Relative to pricing on similar lakes like Torch Lake, Elk Lake or Higgins Lake, Bear Lake is a true bargain. Here are some good examples.
