Michigan Inland Lakes

[DOkie]

There's some good quarries and shore diving in the U.P. if you want to make the drive. Please don't take this the wrong way (things can be read wrong here), but why aren't you interested in the Great Lakes? There are a couple of nice bays that give the impression of diving an inland lake.

We dive Spring Mill Pond and Union Lake every week. I don't know if they fall into what you are looking for but, we have fun at both.

Union Lake is usually a night dive at 9pm and Spring Mill we meet at 7pm. Shoot me a pm if you would like to join us. Union Lake is a pain with the boaters so, thats why we night dive there.

I dove Maceday Lake yesterday afternoon. It was warm and murky above 30'; a little bit clearer and pluckin cold below! And there was very little to see. I wouldn't bother again.

That's a big lake - r u sure you found everything? The last thing I heard of that was added was a vetrinarian's anethesia machine. & then there's the lengendary suit of armour!

I'm English remember; I've seen plenty of suits of armour without getting into sub-40 degree water! And I can't say the disappointment I'm feeling at missing the anesthesia machine will be enough to drag me back there. The fact that all that junk has been put in there emphasizes the fact that the lake itself is boring, no?

The pictures of the machine are quite interesting. Friends of mine actually retrieved it from the lake to get a fellow buddy / physician to indentify it then replaced it. I still can't believe they did that! On a good note they put it back on a boat so it wouldn't sink into the mud bottom so quickly again.

As for it being a boring lake or not. It's local and a good place to get wet when the desire hits you. As for me? I gave up on it after one day of playing SCUBA frogger crossing the street fully geared up and then having to climb down the very steep hill to get to the lake. NOT my thang!

Well Jerry I am having similiar issues in my area... However I am still in search. Have located one within a 20 min drive from me. Otter Lake, but would like to find more than that.

Hi Merrimorte. I'm looking for inland lakes in Michigan to dive. Did you find Otter Lake to be fun? I'd love to hear anything about it you are willing to share.

Thanks!
