Goodbye Torch Lake, So Long Houghton Lake: This Michigan Fishing And Boating Paradise Features Crystal-Clear Waters

Depending on who you ask, only three or four other states in America can claim more lakes than Michigan. Even then, the Mitten State tops the list for the most miles of freshwater shoreline. So you can imagine the competition among lakes in what is aptly nicknamed the Great Lakes State. Torch Lake and Houghton Lake get a lot of attention for their boating and fishing, but there's a lesser-known gem with crystalline water that's also worth checking out. Located a 2.5-hour drive north of Grand Rapids, Lime Lake sprawls across 670 acres in Leelanau County. While locals may not be keen on Lime Lake getting too famous, eco-conscious visitors can certainly enjoy this pristine environment while preserving its beauty.
