About Little Long Lake
Little Long Lake covers about 43 acres, which is like 32 football fields! It's also quite deep in some spots, reaching down to 50 feet (about 15 meters). This makes it a good home for many different types of fish.
A Lake Divided
A cool and unique thing about Little Long Lake is that it's split into two parts. U.S. Highway 127 actually runs right through the middle of the lake! A small canal goes under the highway, connecting the two sections of the lake.
Nearby Lakes
While Little Long Lake is close to other lakes like Budd Lake to the west, McWatty Lake to the north, and Sutherland Lake to the east, it doesn't connect to any of them. It's its own separate body of water. It's also important not to confuse Little Long Lake with other lakes named Long Lake in Michigan, especially the one slightly north in Frost Township.
Visiting Little Long Lake
Most of the land around Little Long Lake has private homes. But don't worry, there's a public spot where you can launch a boat! This public access point is in the far northwest corner of the lake, right on Hammond Road. It's a perfect place to start your adventure on the water.
