On Lake Charlevoix

Lake Charlevoix is a natural freshwater lake in Charlevoix County, Michigan. It is the third-largest inland lake in the state, covering about 17,200 acres. The main basin is up to 122 feet deep and the south arm up to 58 feet. Glacial processes formed two basins. The Main Basin runs from Boyne City, where the Boyne River enters, west to the city of Charlevoix. The shallower, narrower South Arm runs from where the basins meet near Ironton south to East Jordan, at the mouth of the Jordan River. The lake drains through Round Lake and the Pine River to Lake Michigan. Because of this open connection, its level rises and falls with Lakes Michigan and Huron, and wind-driven seiches sometimes reverse the flow in the Pine River channel. The watershed covers 335 square miles in Charlevoix, Antrim and Otsego counties. The lake was called Pine Lake until it was renamed in 1926. More about Lake Charlevoix.
