| 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, smallmouth bass, and whitefish.
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. |
