Ice Fishing

Millecoquins Lake is shallow, so it freezes early and reliably in a typical UP winter. Ice fishing is feasible, though this isn't a destination lake for it — more of a local option. Always check ice thickness, especially near the river inflows and outflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fish are in Millecoquins Lake?

Millecoquins Lake is a shallow, weedy lake that supports warm-water species typical of UP inland lakes — expect bass, panfish, and pike habitat given the heavy weed growth. The lake drains to Lake Michigan via the Lower Millecoquins River, and fishing is the primary activity locals mention.

Can you ice fish on Millecoquins Lake?

The shallow depth means Millecoquins Lake likely freezes early and reliably in winter. It's a reasonable ice fishing option for panfish, though it doesn't attract the crowds of larger UP lakes.
