Quiet lake.
Very clean and clear with a hard sandy bottom.
Looks like the Carribbean from satellite images.
A true hidden gem in northern Michigan.

I love this lake! I can't wait to get back up there. Shore fishing can be a blast if you are willing to wade out up to your chest and cast out past the drop off near the public landing. Caught many nice smallies on a texas rigged crawdad on the drop off all day long. Caught nice smallies and a very nice large mouth on surface baits early in the morning over the drop off.
