Lake facts
MI DNRDepth, fish species, and motor restrictions sourced from MI DNR — coming soon.
Whalen Lake sits just off US 10 in a quiet pocket where the land rolls into water and the horizon opens up to forest. It's a small fishing lake with no public boat launch—the kind of place where the shoreline belongs to the handful of cottages and cabins scattered around it, each with their slice of private frontage. A mile or so away, Hungerford Lake Recreation Area offers a window into the broader landscape; Lake Michigan's big water is closer than you'd think. The nearest restaurant is about a mile down the road, so out here you're genuinely on your own for a meal, which also means you're genuinely removed from the everyday hum.
