Gun Lake is a lake in the U.S. state of Michigan, located mostly in Barry County with the southwestern tip extending into Allegan County. Along most of the lake are numerous summer homes, cottages, and permanent residences. The Yankee Springs Recreation Area is based on northeastern portions of the lake. Gun Lake is the location of a State Park with a boat launch, two beaches, a campground, and picnic areas.

In the lake there are populations of black bullhead, black crappie, bluegill, bowfin, brown bullhead, green sunfish, largemouth bass, longnose gar, muskie, northern pike, rock bass, smallmouth bass, spotted gar, walleye, and yellow perch. Freshwater crustaceans, known as crayfish, also have some residency in the lake, and can be found in many of the shallows in the summertime as their young grow.
