Elk & Skegemog Lakes

In the Watershed Council service area there are nearly 60 lakes greater than 100 acres in size, and 14 of these are among the State's largest with over 1000 acres of lake-surface area. The region also boasts some of the State's deepest lakes with five lakes having maximum depths of 100 feet or more. Elk and Skegemog Lakes, at the nexus of Antrim, Grand Traverse, and Kalkaska Counties, stands among these lake “giants” with 10,960 acres of surface area between them and a maximum depth of nearly 200 feet!
Over the last few decades, the Watershed Council has put forth great effort to work with local lake associations and other water protection organizations to preserve Elk and Skegemog Lakes and ensure they remain high quality resources for the enjoyment of future generations.
