Information: Historically, Lake Cadillac was referred to as Little Clam Lake. In 1873 a canal was constructed connecting Little Clam Lake to Big Clam Lake (present-day Lake Mitchell). At the time, the canal enabled logging on the west side of Lake Mitchell; logs floated through the canal entered Lake Cadillac, on the east shore of which stood lumber mills, the railroad and the Village of Clam Lake. When the Village officially changed its name to the City of Cadillac in 1882, the lake became known as Lake Cadillac. Following the passing of the lumber area, the lake became a regional tourist destination. William Mitchell State Park, popular with campers, now occupies the east shore of the lake, adjacent to the canal.
