Another gem located within the Inland Waterway sits atop the north shore of Burt Lake in the northwest portion of Cheboygan County. I'm referring to Douglas Lake.
One could overlook a place like this because of the attention the Inland Waterway receives but you'll discover character here and nearly 3,400 acres bordered by some of northern Michigan's finest resources. A public launch provides water borne access to Pells Island. A major influence on both land and water is the University of Michigan Biological Station. Near that launch you'll find a century old building that today houses a fine establishment called the Douglas Lake Bar and Steak House. A second public launch is located on the lakes east edge adjacent to the Michigan Biological property.

The nearest community is actually Pellston, located along US-31 in nearby Emmett County. This small community is serviced by a fine regional airport providing the ease of travel throughout the region and country.
