Guthrie Lake

Guthrie Lake is a 128-acre inland lake located in Frederic, Otsego County, offering a public boat ramp for access. The lake reaches a maximum depth of 80 feet, providing decent depth for most recreational boating activities. This is a straightforward access point for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats onto the lake.

The lake supports a healthy population of freshwater fish including smallmouth and largemouth bass, walleye, northern pike, bluegill, perch, and rock bass, making it popular with anglers. While the ramp itself has no boat dock, it provides basic launch access for paddle sports and fishing. Paddlers and boaters should note that this is a modest-sized lake suitable for day trips and recreational fishing. For current conditions, hours, facilities, and any seasonal closures, contact the Michigan DNR or check their boating access site database.
