Lake Gogebic is the largest lake in
Upper Michigan. One of the Lake
Gogebic's highlights is the fishing for
walleye, jumbo perch, northern pike, and
smallmouth bass. Based on recent
Michigan DNR records, Lake Gogebic hosts
more state angler awards than any other
lake in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
The Lake encompasses 13,800 acres
with 34.35 miles of beautiful shoreline.
It is between 20 to 30 feet deep, and
surrounded by the one million acre
Ottawa National Forest. Various fishing
contests are held on the Lake including
the monthly Rod and Reel contest (during
the summer months), a tagged fish
contest (which lasts throughout the
season), and several ice fishing
contests. Prizes totaling thousands of
dollars are awarded.
This region
is also a prime hunting hot spot for
whitetail deer, black bear, duck, and
goose, as well as other partridge and
other types of small game.
The
activity changes in the Winter to
snowmobiling on the Lake. Many miles of
groomed trails surround the Lake.
There's also downhill skiing nearby.
Lake Gogebic offers the perfect place
for those on a honeymoon, vacationing
families, and those that enjoy the
outdoors. With many fine lodging and
dining facilities surrounding the Lake,
there's always plenty of indoor fun as
well.
