About
Long Lake is a large lake in the Lower Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan. Located about 6 miles (9.7 km) west of Traverse City, Long Lake is the largest lake in Grand Traverse County, and the 30th-largest inland lake in Michigan by surface area. Its maximum depth of 70 feet (21 m) makes it the fifth-deepest lake in Grand Traverse County. Long Lake is home to the largest nesting population of loons in the Lower Peninsula.
Long Lake is primarily within the eponymous Long Lake Township, although a small portion extends south into Green Lake Township. The lake is the primary source of the Platte River, which flows west through Benzie County to Lake Michigan.
