Shupac Lake is a 110-acre, no-wake Michigan DNR-designated stocked trout lake (no ice fishing) as deep as 100'. A DNR State Campground is a short walk from the property, with a large sandy beach and swim area open to the public. In front of the property is a shallow arm of the lake where Swans, Ducks, and sometimes Loons frequent. Awesome birdwatching opportunities and feel free to take our paddleboard, kayaks, or canoe out to explore. While the lake is primarily a trout lake, other fish species include perch, lots of sunfish, and occasional smallmouth and largemouth bass. The waters are crystal clear here, and you won't soon forget this lake!
