Celebrating Michigan's Treasure of Inland Lakes

Corey Lake
Located five miles west of Three Rivers in southwest Michigan, this 630 acre freshwater gem is one of St. Joseph county's largest inland lakes. Corey Lake is a moderately productive lake supporting a healthy inland lake fishery consisting primarily of bluegills and largemouth bass. With a maximum depth of 80 feet, and a large expanse of deep water habitat, this high quality inland lake once supported a large population of cisco. While enduring substantial residential development on all but the northern portion of it's basin, Corey Lake has maintained consistently high water quality throughout the years. Corey Lake is the home of Ralph Vogel, the longest serving inland lakes water quality monitoring volunteer within the MiCorps Cooperative Lakes Monitoring Program (CLMP) and the home of Don Winne, who served as ML&SA Executive Director and Publisher of The Michigan Riparian Magazine for nearly forty years, who recently passed away at the age of 92.
