Goodbye Higgins Lake, So Long Torch Lake: This Underrated Michigan Lake Has Camping, Fishing, And Beaches
Michigan is known as the Great Lakes State, but it's home to thousands of lakes in addition to the four Great Lakes that it borders. Two of the state's larger lakes, Higgins and Torch, are among the largest and best-known. The clear waters, sandy beaches, and recreational opportunities of these lakes draw hordes of visitors each year; but if you're looking for something a little less crowded, 5 miles west of Torch Lake is an underrated destination that also has crystal-clear waters and sandy beaches along with excellent fishing and outstanding camping options. So, say goodbye to Higgins Lake, so long Torch Lake, and hello Elk Lake.
