Lake Bellaire
Known for Master Angler bass and the state's record Muskie (58lbs !), and just minutes from SCRs Lakeview Hotel.
Northern Michigan is an incredible destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Home to over 4,000,000 acres of state land, and over 40,000 in Antrim County alone—the Mitten’s landscape is perfect for year-round fishing and fall hunting seasons.
Hunting
Sportsmen's Paradise
Hunting seasons include deer, bear, turkey, woodcock and grouse, rabbit, and small game.
Hunters from around the state prepare for early antlerless season (mid-Sept), bow season (Oct 1), and rifle season (Nov 15).
While state land is abundant in Antrim County, please always practice safe and ethical hunting.
The Chain of Lakes
Antrim County’s Chain of Lakes is comprised of 12 lakes joined by riverways, and plentiful with bass, walleye, muskie, salmon and trout, whitefish, pike, and panfish.
Mere minutes from Shanty Creek, Lake Bellaire and Intermediate Lake are a fisherman’s paradise.
Intermediate Lake
A family-friendly fun lake where you can enjoy an afternoon of non-stop panfish action, and before sunset troll the shorelines for walleye and pike.
Torch Lake
Famous for its sandbar, but it also offers some of the best deepwater fishing in the state for salmon, trout, and whitefish.
