Grand Lake, Michigan

Grand Lake, Michigan Michigan's Best Kept Secret Grand Lake is a 5,660-acre (22.9 km2) lake in Presque Isle County, Michigan 49777.

Grand Lake is a substantial lake of approximately 10 miles (11 km) in length and up to 1.5 miles (2.5 km) in width. The lake is on the boundary between Presque Isle Township to the east and Krakow Township to the west, approximately 15 miles (25 km) north of Alpena on US 23, which passes to the south and west of the lake.[1]

Fishing species include: bluegill, bullhead catfish, northern pike, Gar

pike, dogfish, pumpkinseed sunfish, rock bass, smallmouth bass, white sucker, yellow perch, and walleye.[2]

The lake lies on the landward side of a prominent promontory in the county that juts out into Lake Huron, thereby making the promontory almost an island and indirectly giving the promontory and county their name of "Presque Isle." The lake contains many 18 islands, such as Applegate Island, Bear Island, Three Sisters Island, Brown Island, Grand Island, and Macombers Island to name a few.[1]

The two Presque Isle, Michigan lighthouses are nearby to the east: the New Presque Isle Lighthouse at 4500 E. Grand Lake Road and the Old Presque Isle Lighthouse at 5295 Grand Lake Road. Deposits of Rock salt were discovered at a depth of 1284 feet in the vicinity of Grand Lake.[3] On the west shore of the lake are ledges, which rise to a height of 40 feet above lake level, and include Cerepatora fossils along with chrinoid stems.

Does anyone know what day the boards were taken out at the dam? Also, are all of the boards out, or just the top few? I haven’t seen anything this in the 30 years I have had a place on Grand Lake.

Thanks in advance!

🚗❄️ Winter Parking Reminder ❄️🚗

Just a quick friendly reminder during the winter months — please don’t park in front of our ice cream shack.

That area is needed for gas access, especially for snowmobiles, side-by-sides, and other vehicles, and parking there can block traffic for customers who need fuel. This is especially important during our busy dinner hours.

We truly appreciate everyone’s cooperation and understanding — thank you for helping keep things moving smoothly for all our customers! 😊

❤️ We’re grateful for you!
