Round Lake is the final connection point in Charlevoix, acting as a basin for Lake Charlevoix before its water flows into Lake Michigan via the Pine River channel. It serves as a harbor for the city, a staging area for boats, and a gateway to both Lake Michigan and the larger Lake Charlevoix. The channel, now a federal waterway, was engineered and deepened over time, with the modern connection being the result of federal projects.
