Travel Guide

At 19 miles long and over 18,000 acres Torch Lake is Michigan's second largest lake, with a shoreline dotted with little secluded beaches. It is considered to be one of the top five clearest lakes in the world. I've never seen such clear water! #blue #colorful #AquaTrove #BeachTips #Nature

I put the heat on 85 and froze all night. The water took forever to get warm...Otherwise it was a beautiful facility. I thought I had booked a room at the main lodge but this facility was 3 miles away. I got it. I booked very late.
