Baseline Lake is a natural lake located in southern Allegan County. The lake is easily accessed off M–40 about 6 miles south of the City of Allegan.

Baseline Lake is 187 acres in size with a maximum depth of about 45 feet. The lake has never been mapped. Three very small inlets that are rated as second quality warmwater exist (southwest, west, and north central shores) along with one outlet (top quality warmwater) in the northeast corner. Because of riparian flooding problems in 1978 and 1980, a legal lake level of 729.00 feet was established in 1980, and a control structure was built.

The lake is very popular among bluegill, pike, bass, and crappie anglers.
