Windover Lake

Windover Lake is a 50-acre lake in Clare County, Michigan, offering a hard surface boat ramp with 6 trailer parking spaces and handicap accessibility. The launch has limited water depth for launch and retrieval, so paddlers and boaters should be prepared for shallow conditions, particularly during lower water periods. The lake reaches a maximum depth of 68 feet, making it suitable for kayaking, canoeing, and recreational boating once on the water.

The lake is popular with anglers targeting largemouth bass, northern pike, bluegill, and panfish species. Paddlers can expect a peaceful, quiet setting ideal for recreational paddling and fishing. Amenities appear limited at the ramp itself, so plan accordingly—note that the nearest services (including firewood and water refill locations) are available in nearby Lake George, less than 3 miles away. This is a good choice for anglers and paddlers seeking a calm, smaller lake experience in northern Michigan.
