In physical characteristics, water quality, and biological community, Torch Lake is more like nearby Grand Traverse Bay than the other lakes of the Chain of Lakes. The water is low in nutrients, there are few aquatic plants, and the community is typical of a deep, cold oligotrophic (young) lake.
Lake Bellaire, on the other hand, is shallower, warmer, higher in nutrients, and has a more diverse community of plants and animals. It is quite characteristic of a eutrophic (aging) lake.
