Walters Lake Facts
Using information from the Michigan Geographic Data Library, Walters Lake is the 1,430th largest lake in Michigan.
Most of Walters Lake is less than 10 feet deep, and is shallow enough to support rooted plant growth.
​
The shoreline development factor indicates the degree of irregularity in the shape of the shoreline. That is, compared to a perfectly round lake with the same area as Walters Lake (i.e., 78 acres), the shoreline of Walters Lake is 1.6 times longer due to its elongated shape.
​
On average, the entire volume of water in Walters Lake is replenished every 320 days.
​
Walters Lake lies in the headwaters of Paint Creek and is part of the Clinton River watershed, which drains into Lake St. Clair.
