You will leave
the everyday world behind and enter a world of stunning beauty
offered by mother nature.
Torch Lake has been ranked by National Geographic
as “the third most beautiful lake in the world.” At 18 miles long,
it is Michigan’s longest lake, and is the state’s second largest
lake, covering an area of 29 square miles. Torch Lake is located in
northwestern Michigan’s lower peninsula in what is referred to as
the area’s “chain of lakes” region. Many lakes and rivers run
through the rolling hills from the town of Bellaire to Elk Rapids.
One of the things that makes Torch Lake so beautiful is its’ unusual
color – a mixture of pastel green, blue and turquoise. Some have
called it a “Caribbean Blue.”
The Torch Lake area abounds with recreational
opportunities such as swimming, boating, sailing, kayaking, hiking
and biking, and much, much more. The average depth of Torch Lake is
over 200 feet, making it a good habitat for trout and a great
fishing lake. Other species in the lake are rock bass, yellow perch,
small mouth bass, lake trout, brown and rainbow trout. Just three
miles from Torch Lake is the quaint town of Alden with shopping and
restaurants, and the historic town of Bellaire just a few miles away
with excellent lodging opportunities.
