Lake Information for Black Lake
Black Lake is located in Cheboygan and Presque Isle counties in Northern Michigan. With a surface area of 10,113 acres, it is the seventh largest inland lake in Michigan. The largest body of water in the Black River watershed, it drains through the Lower Black and Cheboygan Rivers into Lake Huron. Black Lake is a summer destination for many families from the suburban Detroit area and from other nearby states as well as residents of the neighboring town of Onaway.
Black Lake is noted for its unusual lake sturgeon ice fishing season. The fishery is limited to five total fish taken each year, each over 36 inches and taken through the ice with fishing spears. 25 anglers are chosen by lottery each day and given a flag to raise when they have caught a fish. When five flags have been raised the season is closed for the year. Seasons have lasted as little as a few hours.
Fishing in Black Lake includes northern pike, walleye, sunfish, silver and greater redhorse, white sucker, catfish, smallmouth bass, and yellow perch.
