Average Size, with Amazing Experiences

As a medium-sized lake with 480 acres, Lake Michie is ideal for those who want to feel alone while yet having access to a lot of room.

Although swimming is prohibited in the lake, locals are still able to boat, kayak, canoe, fish, and unwind on the shore. Along with bull catfish, mud catfish, channel catfish, flathead catfish, blue catfish, chain pickerel, longnose gar, and other species, this region offers some of the best largemouth bass fishing.

An ADA-accessible boathouse, a pier, and a canoe/kayak launch are located near the lake.
