Methodology

How this list is built

  • 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.
