Kayaking Torch Lake

One of the most beautiful inland lakes in Michigan is Torch Lake. Nineteen miles long and just two miles wide, it's waters are crystal clear. There is a small public park on the northwest side in Torch Lake Township where you can put your kayaks in the water and just float around in bliss. The name comes from the Indians who used to hunt fish at night here using torches.There will be massive boaters out on the sandbar on the 4th of July as Kid Rock (who also has a home on this lake) made mention of it in his song "All Summer Long".
