Hubbard Lake, Lake in Alcona County, Michigan, United States
Hubbard Lake is a large body of water in Alcona County, Michigan, United States. It lies within Caledonia, Alcona, and Hawes townships and has a maximum depth of about 80 feet (24 meters).
Hubbard Lake was formed by glaciers and later became a logging hub in the late 1800s. After the timber was cleared, the area gradually turned into a summer destination for families from nearby towns.
The lake is a gathering place for local families, who fish for bass and pike or spend summer days at the small public beach. Its name comes from an early settler, and the community around it retains a rural, close-knit feel.
Public access is available at a boat launch on the lake's western side, and several roads circle the shoreline. Visitors should note that some areas are private property, so respect posted signs when exploring.
The lake has a small island, and its shoreline includes areas of undeveloped forest that attract birdwatchers. In winter, ice fishing is common, and the frozen surface sometimes hosts informal hockey games.
