Half Moon Lake

It’s Saturday, it’s summer and it’s time to enjoy a Michigan lake.

Half Moon Lake is located in Casnova Township in eastern Muskegon County, just off M37 one mile North of the M37 and M46 intersection.

Half Moon Lake is a pretty little lake of 63 acres of surface water, with estimated depths of 70 feet.

On the Northern side of this Michigan lake, you can discover Moore Park, a Muskegon County Park. This park consists of 36 acres of woods, open land, wetland and 1500 feet of Michigan lakefront.  The waterfront is great for swimming, picnicking and fishing. Half Moon Lake is known for Black Crappies, Bluegill, Rainbow Trout, Steelhead, Large Mouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed and Yellow Perch.

At the park, you will also find picnic tables and grills, a small cover shelter and restrooms. There is also a gravel boat launch at the far end of the park.

The next time you are headed North on M37 and see the lake, stop to take a closer look. You may just come home with some fresh fish for dinner.
