Tawas Lake, located on the north end of the City of East Tawas, is one of the areas hot spots for panfish and pike fishing.  It is also a favorite among area duck and geese hunters as well.  And with a mix of ducks, geese and swans, with an occasional bald eagle sigting thrown in, Tawas Lake is very popular with local bird and wildlife enthusiasts as well.  A DNR launch ramp for small boats is located on the south shore of the lake off of Rainbow Drive.
