Torch Lake Michigan's Crystal Clear Blue Water! The Caribbean Of The Midwest 

Torch Lake is located in northern (lower peninsula) Michigan about 10 km northeast of Traverse City Michigan. The lake is known for its crystal clear blue waters, giving it the nickname of the Caribbean Of The Midwest. The lake was formed over 11000 years ago from receding glaciers. The water is clear and blue due to the lack of organic material that you would find in most lakes. Also the sand is white calcium carbonate and water is naturally blue in large quantities. Put clear water on top of a white floor the water will appear blue. This is why many tropical beaches and this lake look similar due to the white sediment.
