Bass Lake

Bass Lake is a 344-acre glacial lake in Grand Traverse County, Michigan's northwest, close to Grawn and Traverse City. The lake has excellent sandy beaches and a maximum depth of 28 feet. Soaring trees provide welcoming shady spaces for people enjoying a weekend on the water. It is naturally divided into two unequal pieces, with a strait between them that is 61 meters wide. Bass Lake is the common name for the northern section, whereas Beitner Lake or Mulberry Lake are sporadically used to refer to the southern section. Long Lake to the west and Silver Lake to the east, both of which are larger than Bass Lake, encircle the lake.

The lake is excellent for water sports like waterskiing, canoeing, and kayaking, but it is also one of the more well-liked lakes for fishing among the residents. Rock bass, northern pike, and walleye are the main targets of anglers because they all do well in the chilly lake waters. Boaters traveling to Bass Lake can use a boat ramp owned by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The lake has the atmosphere of a wild, remote location despite being fairly close to crowded areas.
