Bankson Lake is a 217-acre (0.88 km2) all-sports lake located in Van Buren County, just south of Lawton, Michigan. The lake is unique in that it has rather undeveloped shores and is home to two large camps - the Miracle Camp and the Girl Scouts. Bankson Lake has a depth of up to 42 feet (13 m) and is well stocked with sport fish, including walleye. There is a good population of native purebred Muskies as well. It has been one of Southwest Michigan's premier source lakes for Female musky eggs, which are then crossed with northern pike milt to produce hybrid Tiger Muskies.
