"Fire Lake" is a song written and recorded by the American musical artist Bob Seger.

The song had been partly written years before, in 1971,[citation needed] and was finally finished in 1979 and released in 1980 on Seger's album Against the Wind.

Seger and colleagues decided to make "Fire Lake" the first single from Against the Wind because it was "totally and unequivocally unlike anything I'd ever done before.

[7] Three of the Eagles provided the backing vocals for this track: Glenn Frey, Don Henley and Timothy B. Schmit.
