Dean Lake

Located in Kent County, Michigan

Because of its proximity to the heart of Grand Rapids, Dean Lake is a short drive from all the necessities.

The Spectrum Health Blodgett Hospital is only six miles away, and the Gerald R. Ford International Airport is only fifteen miles away.

Local grocery options include the Family Fare Supermarket, the D&W Fresh Market, Bridge Street Market, and the Great Giant Supermarket.

Life on the Water

Located in the north end of Grand Rapids, Dean Lake spans 100 acres and boasts beautiful waters and great fishing. The lake has been dubbed one of the most desirable residential lakes in West Michigan, perfect for swimming, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing.

Residents should mind the water levels before engaging in water sports, as jet skiing is not allowed when the water is unusually high. For the anglers, bass, tiger muskie, crappie, bluegill, and panfish are the most popular catches on this lake.
