Northern Michigan's Antrim and Grand Traverse counties are home to Elk Lake. The lake is located at 44°51′N 85°23′W, about a mile and a half broad (2.4 km), and nine miles (14 km) long, not far from the town of Elk Rapids. After Torch Lake, it is the second-deepest lake in Michigan with a maximum depth of 59 meters. Lake trout, rock bass, yellow perch, smallmouth bass, muskellunge, ciscoes, brown trout, rainbow trout, and whitefish can all be found in this well-liked lake for fishing.

Elk Lake is a good choice if you want a more private and serene lake experience. The beaches and waterways are less crowded than those of other well-known lakes, despite being the second-deepest inland lake in the state. It lies near the northern Michigan community of Elk Rapids.

Visitors are drawn to Elk Lake because of its serene surroundings as well as its stunning blue water. Elk Lake is a section of the 75-mile waterway known as the Chain of Lakes in Michigan, which is made up of 14 interconnected lakes. Elk Lake is excellent for ice-boating and sailing in the winter. This lake is great for fishing, especially in the deepest area in the middle where fishermen can target lake trout because it is 200 feet deep. Elk Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes in Michigan.
