Do you know of Ackerson Lake ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Ackerson Lake. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Ackerson Lake.<1>

We found mention of Ackerson Lake as a community (see Mentions and References below), but haven't been able to determine its location - other than being located somewhere in Jackson County, Michigan.
