Explore Clark Lake, Michigan

Public Access | 580 Acres |  All-Sports

Nestled in Columbia Township in Jackson County, Clark Lake is a 580-acre all-sports lake right in the heart of the Irish Hills. Residents and visitors alike enjoy swimming, fishing, water skiing, sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and just floating around on their “rafts,” which is the local word for a pontoon boat. Clark Lake folks take their rafts seriously! They even host a Raft-O-Rama each year, dressing up their pontoon boats like parade floats and competing for prizes.

That’s not all you’ll find happening on Clark Lake, though. Annual BBQs, 5k runs, and even Polar Plunges are staples in this fun-loving community. Boat rentals are available at Eagle Pointe Marina if you forgot to bring your own. There is also plenty of time to get in a run, jog or walk on the Clark Lake Spirit Trail.
