About Chippewa Lake

Located in Chippewa Township, Michigan

Chippewa Lake is a 790-acre lake located in Chippewa Township, Michigan. It is 74 miles north of Grand Rapids, Michigan, and 192 miles northwest of Detroit, Michigan. The MBS International Airport is 77 miles southeast in Freeland, Michigan. The closest place for urgent care is the Mecosta County Medical Center, 15 miles southwest in Big Rapids, Michigan. When the lake was bought from the Ojibwe tribe of Native Americans in the late 19th century, droves of white pine were discovered around the lake, and soon it sprang to life as a logging town. Over the next century, the logging industry fizzled out, and the population reduced. In modern times, Chippewa Township is known as a serene lake home retreat.
