Welcome to Bear Lake! One of Northern Michigan’s most coveted all-sports lakes, affectionately known as “Little Torch Lake” for its Caribbean-blue, crystal-clear waters & hard sandy bottom w/ a gradual walkout. This 316-acre, spring-fed lake is truly a hidden treasure, free of algae, weeds, & invasive species thanks to regular monitoring. Quiet no-wake hours and limited public access preserve its serene charm. Nestled on 100 ft of private frontage, this beautifully updated lake home offers panoramic lake views from a massive 4-tier, 2,000+ sq ft deck system w/ locking gates, providing peace of mind for families & pets.
