The Cisco Chain of Lakes is a lesser-known gem in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, featuring interconnected lakes that span the border between Michigan and Wisconsin. Originally not connected with navigable streams, the lakes were dammed by 19th-century loggers to facilitate log floating. A permanent dam was later constructed in 1931 to create navigable channels and store water for hydroelectric facilities. With only a six-inch variation in water levels throughout the year, the lakes are accessible to boaters all summer long. While sources differ on the total number of lakes in the chain, commonly listed ones include Cisco Lake, Thousand Island Lake, Little African Lake, Big African Lake, Record Lake, Lindsley Lake, Fishhawk Lake, Morley Lake, Poor Lake, Indian Lake, and East Bay Lake, all entirely within Michigan, as well as Big Lake, West Bay Lake, and Mamie Lake, partially or entirely within Wisconsin. The total area of these lakes is approximately 4,000 acres. Clearwater Lake, which has no navigable channel connecting it to another lake, is also of considerable size but has not been officially recorded by the state.

Snowmobilers will find trailer parking, a heated garage for sled maintenance, and fuel on-site for their convenience. One of Upper Peninsula Michigan’s hidden treasures is the Cisco Chain of Lakes, which spans the border between Michigan and Wisconsin. The majority of the interconnected lakes are in Gogebic County, Michigan, with two shared with Vilas County, Wisconsin, and one entirely in Vilas County. Loggers dammed the Cisco Lake outlet to the Cisco Branch of the Ontonagon River in the 19th century to aid in floating logs from the area, connecting the lakes. A permanent low dam was built in 1931 to store water for hydroelectric facilities downstream at Victoria Dam, raising water levels by four to five feet and creating navigable channels between the lakes. This dam has transformed the chain into a water sports paradise. The water levels remain stable throughout the year, allowing for boating all summer. While Clearwater Lake has no navigable channel to nearby Little African Lake, it is still a significant body of water in the chain. The official state sources list 14 lakes, while local sources say there are 15. These include Cisco Lake, Thousand Island Lake, Little African Lake, Big African Lake, Record Lake, Lindsley Lake, Fishhawk Lake, Morley Lake, Poor Lake, Indian Lake, and East Bay Lake, all within Michigan. Big Lake and West Bay Lake are partially in both states, and Mamie Lake is entirely in Wisconsin. Together, these lakes cover a total of 3,987 acres of water, with Clearwater Lake adding to this figure.
