About Coldwater Lake

Right Along the Border

Nestled in a quiet corner of Southwest Michigan, Coldwater Lake is a recreational lake that sits just north of the Indiana state line in rural Branch County.

Halfway between Chicago and Detroit, the lake is apart of Coldwater Country, a collection of quaint communities with rich histories that offer the more traditional aspects of American life: hometown festivals, boutique shops and trading posts.

Important Aspects

The lake is known for a healthy population of a wide variety of fish, including black crappie, largemouth bass and northern pike to name a few.

Its 1,610 acres include 12 miles of shoreline and Coldwater Lake State Park.

While Coldwater Lake is fairly shallow, in some places more than others, it has a maximum depth of 92 feet.

Good Ole' Fashioned Fun

The surrounding Coldwater Country offers a some more traditional recreational activities reminiscent of a time long ago.

The local drive-in movie, steam engine train rides and even an opera house give the area a Victorian vibe that goes along well with the lake's tranquil atmosphere.

Horseback riding, geocaching and bike tours also keep residents busy year round.

Festivities All Year Long

From January to December, the lake and surrounding community have a social calendar sure to have a little something for everyone!

Dinner theatres and comedy clubs happen almost weekly, while in the summer months, the county fair and live local music shows give the perfect opportunity to get out and enjoy the weather.

In addition to that, city-wide garage sales, triathlons and old fashioned-car shows line the streets.

The town may be small, but it is active.

A Wrinkle in Time

This little community is ideal for a slowed down, quaint getaway from everyday life.

The nostalgic feel of nearby towns gives the illusion that time hasn't passed at all, which can be quite refreshing in the hectic hustle and bustle of the world today.
