Bay Harbor Lake is a manmade lake formed in 1994 when Bay Harbor Company’s developers continued their advancements at this shoreline community. The barrier between Bay Harbor and Little Traverse Bay was removed in an explosive ceremony, attended by then-Governor John Engler. Water rushed in at the rate of one million gallons per minute. Within 24 hours, over 2.5 billion gallons of water had formed Bay Harbor Lake. It was another step in the transformation of Bay Harbor from an old cement plant to the opulent resort area, year round community and shopping district that it has become today.
