Re: Torch Lake. Michigan
Rob,<br />I've spent many summers at the north end of Torch Lake.<br /><br />First off, it is truely a beautiful lake. One of the clearest in the country. Also the size of the lake lends to great boating.<br /><br />Ramps: On the north end, the towns of Torch Lake and Eastport both have ramps with associated public beaches. Otherwise, Clam Rive, Alden, and Torch River are your best bets.<br /><br />Hotels: I don't believe that there are many hotels ON the lake. There are bed and breakfasts, though. I'm not too familiar with this...you may want to use the internet to find lodging.<br /><br />Eats: Spencer Creek in Alden is very nice. There are decent "park your boat" places near Clam River and Torch River (South End).<br /><br />The water doesn't usually warm up until late June. Nights are often quite chilly. <br /><br />The peak months are July and August. Try to avoid the large crowds of the holiday weekends (like anywhere).<br /><br />Let me know if you'd like more info.<br /><br />Dan
