Support our efforts to keep Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore a wonderful natural and historic place by becoming a member or volunteering for a project that can put your skills to work in the park. This booklet was compiled by Kerry Kelly, Friends of Sleeping Bear Dunes. Much of the content for this booklet was taken from Seeing the Light – Lighthouses of the Western Great Lakes a web site researched and compiled by Terry Pepper www.terrypepper.com. This web site is a great resource if you want information on other lighthouses. Other sources include research reports and photos from the National Park Service. Information about the Lightships that were stationed in the Manitou Passage was obtained from David K. Petersen, author of Erhardt Peters Volume 4 Loving Leland. http://blackcreekpress.com. Extensive background information about many of the residents of the Manitou Islands including a well- researched piece on the William Burton family, credited as the first permanent resident on South Manitou Island is available from www.ManitouiIlandsArchives.org. Click on the Archives link on the left. 2 Lighthouses draw us to them because of their picturesque architecture and their location on beautiful shores of the oceans and Great Lakes. The lives of the keepers and their families fascinate us as we try to imagine ourselves living an isolated existence on a remote shore and maintaining the light with complete dedication.

    Michigan Dept. of Natural Resources 2018-261 Status of the Fishery Resource Report Page 1 Lake Missaukee Missaukee County Muskegon River Watershed, last surveyed 2018 Mark A. Tonello, Fisheries Management Biologist Environment Lake Missaukee is an 1,880-acre natural lake located in Lake Township in western Missaukee County, Michigan. Lake City sits on the eastern shore of Lake Missaukee. Lake Missaukee is the largest lake in Missaukee County and has a maximum depth of approximately 27 feet, although most of the lake is less than 15 feet. Substrates found in the lake are mostly sand, with silty sand and detritus in some of the deeper areas and in some weedy shoreline areas. Because it is a relatively shallow lake, Lake Missaukee has an abundance of aquatic vegetation. The shoreline of Lake Missaukee is highly developed with many homes surrounding the lake, with only the northwestern shoreline being undeveloped. The north end of the lake features several shallow bays and several islands. The larger island is connected to the mainland by a bridge and is heavily developed, with over 40 homes on it. The landscape surrounding Lake Missaukee is diverse. Immediately east of the lake lies Lake City, but beyond that the landscape is primarily agricultural. To the south is much the same. To the north and west there are several lakes, of which Crooked and Sapphire are the largest. Wetlands are common to the north and west and upland areas are forested with conifers and northern hardwoods. Most of the lands surrounding the lake are in private ownership. Lake Missaukee is part of the Muskegon River watershed.
