The Torch River is a short river in the Northern Lower Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan. At 2.1 miles (3.4 km) in length, [1] the river connects Torch Lake to Lake Skegemog, and is a crucial link in the Elk River Chain of Lakes Watershed. [2] The river is divided along its entire length between Antrim and Kalkaska counties. The northern source of the river is home to a DNR Access Site. [3]
