Located in the scenic Indian River area of northern Michigan, Mullett Lake offers breathtaking views and experiences to appeal to your need for relaxation and your desire for excitement. The clear water of the lake invites you to experience a walk across its sandy bottom, cast a line in search of the "big one" and cruise across the waves at whatever your speed - be it a raft, canoe, kayak, fishing, or powerboat.
Mullett Lake is one of Michigan's largest inland lakes, spanning nearly 11 miles for southern to northern tip, and nearly 17 miles around. The ample size of the lake allows for all boaters to feel like Mullett is "their own personal lake."

Mullett Lake is a lake in Cheboygan County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The lake is named after John Mullett, who, together with William A. Burt, made a federal survey of the area from 1840 to 1843. A neighboring lake was named after Burt.
The lake is approximately 10 miles (16 km) long from southeast to northeast, about 4 miles (6.4 km) at its widest, and 120 feet (37 m) at its deepest. It covers 17,360 acres, making it the third largest inland lake in Michigan.
Major inflows to the lake are the Indian River, which connects with nearby Burt Lake, Pigeon River, Little Pigeon River, Sturgeon River and Mullett Creek. The Cheboygan River flows out of the northeast end of the lake.
The lake is part of the great Inland Waterway, by which one can boat 38 miles (61 km) from Crooked Lake and Round Lake near the Little Traverse Bay of Lake Michigan across the northern tip of the lower peninsula's "Mitten" to Cheboygan on Lake Huron.
