Miner Lake (Allegan County)

We went out to Miner Lake today. This lake is located in the middle of Allegan County just north of the town of Allegan.

This is a nice lake with many beautiful homes. There is a public launch ramp on the south west corner of the lake. The ramp is a concrete, one lane ramp in decent condition. The parking area is pretty small and only gravel. There is a pit toilet on site. This ramp is operated by the state of Michigan. I did not see any pay station or fees mentioned, however, I would guess there is a permit fee required.

The lake itself has a South bay that is quite large and is mostly very deep. There are, however, several sand bars that can be 1' or less in depth in areas quite far from land. On the East end of the lake there is a narrow area that connects the South bay to the North bay.

The North bay is smaller, yet still plenty big for watersports, etc.

In general this is a very nice lake.
