Approximately 6.5 miles long and 4 miles wide, it is one of the largest lakes in the Upper Peninsula. Elevated 686 feet above sea level and 105 feet above Lake Michigan, Manistique Lake drains into the larger lake through a marshy outlet on the west end of the lake that forms one source of the Manistique River. Relatively shallow, the lake's deepest point is only 20 feet below the water surface. The average depth is 10 feet.
