Burt Lake, Freshwater lake in Cheboygan County, Michigan
Burt Lake spans 17,120 acres with a length of 10 miles from north to south and a maximum width of 5 miles across Michigan.
William Austin Burt received recognition through the naming of this lake after conducting a federal land survey from 1840 to 1843 with John Mullett.
The lake forms an essential part of Michigan's Inland Waterway system, connecting multiple communities through a 38-mile chain of rivers and lakes.
Visitors access the lake through Burt Lake State Park, which provides 2,000 feet of sandy shoreline and facilities for swimming, boating, and camping.
The lake maintains a substantial Lake Sturgeon population alongside Mullett Lake and Black Lake, contributing to local aquatic biodiversity.
