Fisk Lake is a freshwater lake in East Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States. It was named for John Fisk. [2] Now primarily valued for scenic purposes, it was originally used as a source of ice for Grand Rapids, Michigan [3] and the Chicago meatpacking industries. It receives water from Reeds Lake, and drains to the Grand River by way of Coldbrook Creek.
