Torch Lake


Torch Lake in northwestern Michigan is a natural lake that runs vertically alongside and a few miles east from Grand Traverse Bay on Lake Michigan. Torch Lake is an extremely large lake that stretches for 19 miles from south to north and is Michigan's second largest inland lake, but appears tiny compared to Lake Michigan. Torch Lake covers 18,770 acres with 1,683 miles of shoreline, an average depth of 100 feet, and a maximum depth of 285 feet.  Torch Lake lies in Antrim County and is part of a watershed called the Elk River Chain of Lakes. This watershed includes Six Mile Lake and Lake Bellaire, which are connected by the Intermediate River, the Grass River, which connects Lake Bellaire to Clam Lake, and Clam Lake, which drains in to Torch Lake via the Clam River. Torch Lake drains into the Torch River, which flows into Elk Lake, which flows into Grand Traverse Bay on Lake Michigan.  More Lake Information
