Mullett Lake is one of Michigan’s premier inland lakes — the 17,000-acre lake is deep, clear, and cold, supporting excellent walleye and smallmouth bass fishing.

Fun fact: Despite the Hawaiian-sounding name, “Aloha” is pronounced “uh-LO-uh” by locals — it’s named after the nearby village of Aloha, Michigan, not the Hawaiian greeting.
