Lake James

Lake James is a beautiful man made lake, located just East of Prudenville, with over 300 acres of water at an average depth of 12 feet. The lake is approximately 1.5 miles in length and the widest point is three quarters of a mile. The primary source of water is the Denton Creek - originating in the state forest. Lake James is made up of many fingers offering nearly 10 miles of shoreline. There are 12 private lakefront parks and one offshore park provided for the use of property owners and their guests. Moosehead Park, on the Southwest side of the lake, is a large secured area for the launching of boats. Each property owner receives their own key to the secured gate.

Lake James is included in the Houghton Lake School District and with its convenient location also enjoys the same year-round amenities that service the Houghton Lake - Prudenville area.
