Detailed information on Edey Lake's inflows and outflows is limited. The lake sits in the broader watershed system of Dickinson County's interior, surrounded by state forest land and a cluster of other small UP lakes.
As a small lake in the Upper Peninsula, Edey Lake likely freezes reliably through the winter months. Always check ice thickness before venturing out, especially early and late in the season. There's no established ice fishing scene here, but the solitude would be hard to beat.

Edey Lake is a small, quiet lake in Dickinson County in Michigan's Upper Peninsula — the kind of spot that doesn't show up on tourism maps. With only one public launch and virtually no online footprint, this is about as off-the-grid as you'll find for a lake with actual public access. The surrounding area is classic UP — forested, sparsely populated, and close to other small lakes and state forest land.
The single launch on Edey Lake carries a perfect 5-star Google rating, though from just one review — which tells you how few people are finding this place. Several campgrounds are within reach, including the state forest campground at Squaw Lake and Newberg Park in Sagola Township, so you can make a weekend of exploring the cluster of small lakes in this part of Dickinson County. Don't expect amenities — bring what you need.
