The lake
About Goguac Lake
Goguac Lake is 352 acres on the south side of Battle Creek, in Calhoun County, and it runs to 66 feet — deep for its size, and deeper than most of the lakes on this site. There are three islands on it: Picnic, Peach and Ward’s, each of which has gone by several other names over the years.
The name is older than the city. It comes from Coguagiack, meaning "undulating", and the lake was a Potawatomi gathering place long before the shoreline was platted. For about fifteen years around the turn of the last century there was an amusement park on it — Liberty Park, with a wooden roller coaster and a dance hall — running from the late 1890s through at least the 1912 season.
Today the Battle Creek Country Club is on the lake, and so is Willard Beach, which is a public park. Most of the rest of the shoreline is homes.

Sales marked older closed before the current twelve-month index window. Sales marked outlier fall inside it but sit outside the statistical fence — a short frontage under an expensive house produces a very high figure per foot, and that number describes the house rather than the shoreline. Both are listed rather than hidden so the median can be checked against the full record.

Sold alerts
Know what sells on Goguac Lake.
Every time a home closes on Goguac Lake, I'll email you the address, what it asked, what it actually sold for, and how long it sat. That is the whole email.

How this figure is calculated
The price-per-front-foot figure is the median closed sale price divided by feet of water frontage, for homes that sold on Goguac Lake in the trailing twelve months.
Listings with reported frontage outside 20 to 1,500 feet are excluded as data-entry error, and statistical outliers are trimmed before the median is calculated. We publish this figure only where there are at least eight qualifying sales in the window — below that, the sample is too small to be reliable.

- All-sports and no-wake rules“All-sports” is not a legal category. Where the rules really come from, and how to check one lake.
- Legal lake levels and assessmentsWhy a dam, a court order and a line on your winter tax bill are the same story.
- Associations and deeded accessThree different things get called “the lake association”, and only some of them can bill you.
- Waterfront septic and wellsMichigan has no statewide septic code. On a converted cottage this is the inspection that matters.
- Lake Michigan shorelineGreat Lakes frontage follows different rules — including who can legally walk your beach.
