Deer Lake
Located just north of Grand Rapids, Deer Lake is known as a walleye lake, but also has an abundance of muskie. The DNR stocks this lake annually with walleye fingerlings. Deer Lake also has a terrific population of smallmouth bass and has seen an increase in bluegill population over the past few years. Muskies in this lake tend to average about 39 inches, but 40-pound-class fish are reported caught fairly often. Deer Lake has a maximum depth of 121 feet. There is plenty of structure on this lake with numerous points and sunken islands. The shorelength is 23 miles. [DNR REPORT]
