Torch Lake Township Park
|
| Don Hunt |
Located at the dramatic southern entryway of the Portage Waterway, this little park has a nice sandy beach for swimmers and sunbathers plus a tree-shaded area for picnickers. Many like to fish from the long pier out to the entry light. Amusingly, if you walk all the way out to the light, you discover a Danger! sign warning of the loud fog horn you're standing under. Walking out on the pier is dangerous during storms when waves could sweep one into the lake.![]()
At the end of Jacobsville Road, turn right. The road goes past a former Coast Guard State and dead ends at the park.
