Carp Lake: There’s a local saying in Carp Lake, “You will find paradise in Carp Lake, but you won’t find any Carp in Paradise Lake.” Located a short drive south on US-31 is the Village of Carp Lake. Well known by families for generations, great fishing is to be had on Paradise Lake where there are many resorts along the lakeshore, some of which are open year round.
