Little Pleasant Lake is a 29-acre lake located near Three Rivers in the Michigan county of St. Joseph.[1] The lake was mapped for fishery purposes by the Michigan Conservation Department, the predecessor agency of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) in 1954. The mapmakers found a lake bottom of muck and pulpy peat, with marl in the shallows, and some sandy beaches. Little Pleasant Lake is fed by a creek that runs from Pleasant Lake into the smaller lake, and discharges into the Rocky River.[2] The lake is 3 miles (5 km) west of Three Rivers.[3]
