County, with only its westernmost part extending into Baraga County. The lake has about 95 miles of shoreline, is about six miles in length from east to west, and has a southern arm extending about another four miles. The lake has 27 islands, rock walls and beds, and bays of all shapes and sizes, and is popular for boating, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, waterskiing, and wakeboarding. A dam separates the Michigamme River from the main body of the lake at the end of the southern arm. The water leaves the lake as the Michigamme River and is joined by other streams until they become the Menominee River, which eventually flows into Lake Michigan. The Spurr River flows into the lake's west end and the Peshekee River flows into the lake in the northeast. The Peshekee offers a thirty mile trip for boaters and kayakers. Van Riper State Park and Van Riper beach are located at the eastern shoreline of the main arm, and there is a public access site to the lake there. Another public access site is available just south west of the Village, which includes a hard surfaced launch site, children's play equipment, beach, and camping area.
