Reed Lake

The township of Lake, in southwest Lake County, is home to many Michigan lakes, the largest being Big Star Lake.

Reed Lake is just one mile north and west of Big Star.Reed Lake is part of three small neighboring lakes:  Reed, Rainbow and Orchard Lakes. Reed Lake is the deepest of the three, with depths of up to 45 feet ,45 acres of surface water and 1.1 miles of lakefront. Too small for all sports water activities, but just for ideal for a time of quiet fishing or perhaps swimming.

The terrain around Reed Lake and the other two nearby scenic lakes is rolling and nicely wooded with mix of pine and hardwoods. The lakes are somewhat developed with modest cabins and cottages, reflecting reasonable prices if you are searching for a summer getaway. A getaway that is close to Baldwin to pick up your weekend supplies, including Jones Ice Cream.

Also nearby one will find other lakes: Oxbow lake, Cecilia Lake, Gifford Lake, Basford Lake and Honeymoon Lake.

Now is the time to begin dreaming of those warm, summer afternoons on a Michigan lake. Be sure to plan on spending one of those days in Lake County.
