Torch Lake is an approximately 2,700-acre (11 km2) lake lying mostly within Torch Lake Township with portions within Osceola and Schoolcraft townships in Houghton County in the U.S. state of Michigan.

The village of Lake Linden at the north end of the lake was once the site of the largest copper milling operation in North America.

About 200 million short tons (180×10^6 t) of copper mill stamp sands were dumped into Torch Lake itself, filling about 20 percent of the lake's volume.

The Environmental Protection Agency believes the contaminated sediments to be 70 feet (21 m) thick in some areas, and surface sediments contain up to 2,000 parts per million (ppm) of copper.

The lake has a total surface area of 2,659 acres (11 km2), and a maximum depth of 120 feet (37 m).
