About Torch Lake
Torch Lake is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, famous for its stunning Caribbean-blue water that rivals tropical destinations. At nearly 19,000 acres, it is Michigan's second-largest inland lake and one of the deepest at 285 feet. The extraordinary water clarity is a result of low nutrient levels and a sandy bottom, creating conditions more commonly associated with alpine lakes than Midwestern waters.
Fishing on Torch Lake centers around its deep, cold-water species. Lake trout thrive in the depths, while smallmouth bass provide excellent action along rocky shorelines and drop-offs. Yellow perch and rock bass are plentiful in shallower areas, and cisco offer a unique fishery for adventurous anglers. The lake's depth and clarity demand refined techniques, but the rewards include trophy-quality lake trout and bass.
Torch Lake is part of the Chain of Lakes waterway in Antrim County, connecting to several other lakes and providing miles of interconnected boating. Public launch facilities are available at multiple points around the lake, with the village of Alden serving as the primary hub for services and supplies. The sandbar at the south end of the lake is a famous summer gathering spot for boaters.
