Paw Paw, Mi
Maple Lake lies
in the heart of the Village of Paw
Paw. Downtown sits on the south end of the lake, where the East Branch
and the West Branch of the Paw Paw River meet. From the north end of
the lake, the Paw Paw River continues its run all the way to St.
Joseph/Benton Harbor where it joins the St.Joseph River before flowing
into Lake Michigan.

Map Maple Lake was created by the Village of
Paw Paw by erecting a hydropower dam 27-feet high in 1907 on the north
side of the lake. Maple Lake is 172 acres in size and has a maximum
depth of about 15 feet. Depths can vary over time because the
flow-through system acts as a sediment basin. The deepest areas are
associated with the old river channel.
