Lake Gogebic
(go-GEE-bik)
is the largest natural lake of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It is
located within the one million acre Ottawa National Forest. Lake Gogebic
State Park is located along its western shore. Lake Gogebic has abundant
opportunities for fishing, hiking, hunting, camping, and winter sports,
Lake Gogebic is a four-season vacation gem that – for all its attractions
– retains the peaceful atmosphere of a small Northwoods community, untroubled
by traffic and crowds.
Lake Gogebic’s 13,380 acres is prime fishing water with walleye, small
mouth bass, northern pike, jumbo perch and whitefish, providing both
catches for the novice and challenges for the veteran angler.
It is in the far western end of the Upper Peninsula, close to the Wisconsin border, and in parts of two counties, Gogebic County and Ontonagon County. The lake is also in two time zones, central and eastern.
Though the lake is a natural body of water, the level is regulated
by the Upper Peninsula Power Company through its Bergland Dam located
downstream on the West Branch of the Ontonagon River.
