Torch Lake
Ranked by National
Geographic as "the third
most beautiful lake in the
world." At 18 miles long, it
is Michigan's longest lake,
and is the state's second
largest lake, covering an
area of 29 square miles.
Torch Lake is located in
what is referred to as the
area's "chain of lakes"
region. Many lakes and
rivers run through the
rolling hills from the town of
Bellaire to Elk Rapids. One
of the things that makes
Torch Lake so beautiful is
its' unusual color - a mixture
of pastel green, blue and
turquoise. Some have called
it a "Caribbean Blue." The
average depth of Torch
Lake is over 200 feet,
making it a good habitat for
trout and a great fishing
lake. Other species in the
lake are rock bass, yellow
perch, small mouth bass,
lake trout, brown and
rainbow trout. Located
about 30 miles North of
Traverse City.
