Top 5 Reasons Lake Mitchell should be Your new Home Waters

Check out the sunsets! If you aren't convinced already, below are 10 reasons Lake Mitchell is as good as it gets in the great Up North!

1. 2580 acres of fertile fishing ground for bass, walleye, panfish, and the northern pike. With varying depths, the lake has 10-12ft typical weedline. Fishing is great year round!

2. Connected to Lake Cadillac by the historic canal, this creates over 3700 acres of vacation like lifestyle. Boating, fishing, and beaches galore! Come check out the lake breezes in your hair while you drink your morning coffee or enjoy an evening bonfire.

3.  Cadillac offers great dining (Hermann's European Cafe, Blue Heron, Lakeside Charlies, Passage North), boutiques downtown (Blossom, Serendipity), big box stores at the North end, two breweries (Clam Lake, Raven Brewing - coming soon!) and wine tasting rooms (Cadillac Winery tasting room, Rosa Blanca, Table 212)! The updated Rotary Arts Pavilion offers lots of entertainment in the warm weather months, and you can even rent it to watch your own projected movie! The Commons offers lush landscaping, a splash pad, and gorgeous fire pit for a picnic or hosting a gathering. The Commons hosts many of the area's festivals. Parks, trails, and recreation entertainment galore!

4. Mitchell State Park offers great sandy beachfront on Lake Mitchell for additional/overflow visitors! Or just to stop for a picnic. Campers enjoy beautiful views, canal fishing, Carl T Johnson center just across the road, and a new Launch by the Cadillac Leadership team for kayaks and canoes!

5. Not just a summer destination!! In the colder Michigan months, Lake Mitchell is an awesome location for ice fishing or skating! It's also just minutes from Caberfae Ski resort, miles and miles or cross country ski trails and snowmobile trails! Don't forget the North American Snowmobile Festival hosted in Cadillac.
