Fisk Lake is a freshwater lake in East Grand Rapids, Michigan. 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 meatpaking industries. It receives water from Reeds Lake, and drains to the Grand River by way of Coldbrook Creek.
