Locally, residents call this cluster of connected lakes in and around Schoolcraft Township the Barton Lake Chain — a set of small adjacent water bodies in southern Kalamazoo County served as a combined delivery route. The named lakes include Sugarloaf Lake (and Little Sugarloaf), with neighboring access points serving smaller surrounding lakes. Some older references call this cluster "Schoolcraft Lakes" — we've updated to what residents actually call it. Coverage depends on the property — text BARTON to (877) 257-FUEL to confirm your address is on the route. ### How big is Sugarloaf Lake? Sugarloaf Lake covers about 148 acres with a maximum depth between 16 and 24 feet (sources vary). It straddles the Portage / Schoolcraft Township line east of US-131, just south of the Gourdneck State Game Area. It connects via a winding no-wake channel to Little Sugarloaf Lake (about 93 acres, deeper at around 31 feet). ### Where's the public access for the chain? There's a hard-surfaced Michigan DNR public boat launch off Shaver Road, approximately 10764 Shaver Road in Portage. The channel between Sugarloaf and Little Sugarloaf is posted slow-no-wake. ### What fish are in the Barton Lake Chain? Bluegill, largemouth bass, northern pike, crappie, and yellow perch. Standard SW Michigan inland warm-water fishery; the deeper holes in Little Sugarloaf give pike and bass cover in summer. ### What's nearby in Schoolcraft Village? Downtown Schoolcraft along US-131 has Harding's Friendly Market as the local full-service grocery, plus Dollar General at 13198 N US-131. There's no marina in the village proper — the nearest meaningful marina services are at Gull Lake (~25 minutes north) or Indian Lake (Vicksburg, ~10 minutes east). ### How do I get on the Barton Lake Chain weekly fuel delivery route? Text BARTON to (877) 257-FUEL. Reply Y to confirm SMS delivery alerts and we add you to Barton Lake Chain's weekly route. No credit card required to join — pay only when you actually order fuel. You can also sign up online at docksidefuelservices.com if you prefer. ### What kind of fuel do you deliver to Barton Lake Chain? REC-90 ethanol-free marine gasoline — the recommended fuel for boats, jet skis, pontoons, side-by-sides, generators, and most outdoor power equipment. The lack of ethanol prevents phase separation in tanks that sit unused for stretches, which protects engines on lakeside properties that don't see daily use. ### How many gallons can be delivered to Barton Lake Chain in one day? Up to 780 gallons per route (700-gallon truck plus 80-gallon Fuel Mule). Reservations are first-reserve, first-fill — once Barton Lake Chain's weekly route fills up, additional requests join a FIFO waitlist and auto-promote when a reservation cancels. ### Is there a delivery minimum on Barton Lake Chain? No minimum gallons — the trip fee ($30 dockside or $15 curbside) is the same whether we fill 5 gallons or 100. Most customers order 20-50 gallons per trip. The flat trip fee covers the cost of bringing the truck to your lake; per-gallon pricing is the current REC-90 market rate plus $1.49/gal. ## How to Order 1. Text **BARTON** to **(877) 257-FUEL** 2.
