Bear Lake is a small, freshwater lake located in Kalkaska County, Michigan, United States. This lake is known for its very clear water. This is because natural springs flow into it, keeping the water fresh and clean.

Many homes around the lake have unique "Tiki Bars" right on the shoreline. These are fun, themed outdoor areas. Bear Lake also has a public sandy beach where people can relax and swim.
