Spider Lake is a natural 459-acre lake in Northwest Michigan. This freshwater inland lake is exceptionally clear, and in some shallower parts where the depth is about eight feet, the bottom of the lake can be clearly seen. The lake contains a great variety of fish such as crappie, perch, pike, bluegill, and bass. While motorboats are allowed, there are some no-wake zones close to the shore and in the shallow parts of the lake. There is a public boat launch on the southwestern shore, and boat and bike rentals are available all around the lake. The maximum depth of the lake is 32 feet, and it is very pleasant for swimming and all sorts of water activities such as canoes, kayaks, rowboats, and paddleboats. Jet skiing, windsurfing, and parasailing are also very popular. Winter brings different kind of fun on the lake such as ice fishing, snow tubing, snowmobiling, sledding, snow shoeing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, and much more. Dense forests around the lake are home to a variety of wildlife.
