Pine Knot is the perfect retreat, where you can take advantage of all that the Grand Traverse Area offers or just recline by the shore.

The crystal clear waters of Lake Skegemog are excellent for boating and fishing with direct access into Elk Lake and up Torch River to Torch Lake. It is on the Elk - Skegemog - Torch - Clam - Bellaire Chain of Lakes - covering over 60 square miles of uninterrupted waterway.

At Pine Knot, you'll have a private beach, dock, and boat hoist that will accommodate a 3600#, 8ft. wide boat. Bringing a boat is made easier with the circular driveway, spacious yard, and DNR launch just down the road. Skegemog is well known for Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike, and Muskie. The colder waters of Elk and Torch Lakes hold Atlantic Salmon, Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Whitefish.

Pine knot is a comfortable cottage, conveniently located, and on a truly spectacular lake. Many people have made special memories here, and you can as well.
