Ranked by GIS-computed surface acres from Michigan DNR lake polygons — one consistent state source for every lake, which can differ modestly from older published figures.
The Great Lakes are excluded — this list ranks inland lakes.
Lakes whose mapped polygon could not be confidently matched are excluded rather than guessed.
Lakes under 50 acres are excluded from rankings.
Public access inventories are not yet tracked for Michigan, so access is never shown or ranked here.
