If the vehicle you bring is not 4-Wheel or All-Wheel Drive, please be aware of the potential risks accessing the property when snow is present.
The Neighborhood:
Close to Interlochen Academy of the Arts, and Interlochen State Park
Most anglers fishing Green Lake in the summer target bluegill, rock bass, sunfish, northern pike, lake trout, and largemouth & smallmouth bass do very well. Year round fishing is allowed, and you'll see ice shanties on the lake in the winter.
