Today’s photos are from Lower Herring Lake in Arcadia, MI. Depths ranged from 8-20’, with most of the “action” taking place around 12’ as there was a nice drop off with lots of vegetation and fish.
There are a number of wooden boxes on the bottom of the lake like those shown above. They served as floats when the lake was on an active logging camp in the late 1800s. The boxes were linked together using chains and iron straps tied to logs like this one here, to corral masses of logs together so they could be moved to ships moored at a long pier in nearby Lake Michigan. It’s amazing that these boxes are still holding up after more than 100 years. Notice the Walleye sitting on top of the box!
