  • Muskegon River Fisheries Management Summaries 02232017
    Department of Natural Resources, Fisheries Division Muskegon River Fisheries Management Summaries February 23, 2017 Richard P. O’Neal The Muskegon River begins in north-central Lower Michigan, flowing from Higgins Lake and Houghton Lakes, southwesterly to the City of Muskegon and discharging into central Lake Michigan. The river is 212 miles long and drops 575 feet in elevation between its headwater and mouth (O’Neal 1997). The watershed incorporates over 2,350 square miles of land and approximately 94 tributaries flow directly into the mainstem. The original fish community of the river system was composed of 97 species, and there have been a number of species that colonized or were introduced. The most recent fish community surveys were conducted on Higgins Lake (unpublished 2011), Houghton Lake (O’Neal 2011), the river and large impoundments (O’Neal 2002), and Muskegon Lake (unpublished 2008). The Muskegon River Watershed Assessment provides substantial background on the physical characteristics of the river (O’Neal 1997), along with Wiley et al. (2009). The hydrology of the river is intermediate between coldwater and warmwater Michigan streams. Water temperature data and fisheries surveys verify the coolwater nature of this river (O’Neal 2001; O’Neal 2011). The predominant species of fish found in the river are suckers, but there are many sport fish also present in the river as well as the lakes. The lower river (from Croton Dam to Muskegon Lake), Muskegon Lake, Houghton Lake, and Higgins Lake provide some of the best fishing in Michigan. These summaries are intended to highlight the existing fisheries in the river system, and provide brief summaries of recent studies conducted on important fish species along with needed research.

  • A Journey Well Taken: a Father and Son Experience
    A Journey Well Taken: A Father and Son Experience Ken Johnson Reflections on a trip taken down the Muskegon River: July 27, 2007 (Note: See map and key, last two pages) I remember seeing a movie a few years back that starred Bill Murray. It was not really a comedy (although I can hardly imagine a movie with Bill Murray that wouldn’t be funny at least a couple times) but a more serious movie; some might even call it depressing. The movie? Lost in Translation. Anyway, I will never forget a line from that movie. Bill Murray was having a conversation with Scarlett Johansson, and he says something to the effect of, “Your children are the most intriguing people you will ever meet in your life.” This is a story about a journey taken with one of those people. In April of this year I started reading a book about the Muskegon River written by Jeff Alexander. A co-worker had told me about the book and it sounded interesting. I have lived in Muskegon my whole life (except for a brief 5 year period in the early 80’s when the economy was so rotten that I think half the state left. Sound familiar?) and I thought it would be fun to read something about an area that I know and love. I was smitten by the book from the first page. At first the book takes you back to a time when the area was virgin and not spoiled by European settlers. What an unspoiled paradise Michigan once was.

  • Geocaching 101 ~ FREE ~
    northerncamper.com MAY 2010 Geocaching 101 ~ FREE ~ During logging days, the rivers and streams in the Muskegon River Watershed were scraped and eroded. This caused sediment (dirt) to cover fish breeding areas. The trees that supplied shade for the rivers were removed, allowing the sun to warm up the water. Some fish and other organisms couldn’t tolerate the warmed water. Dams were built that Page 5 kept fish from moving up the river. Some fish species were destroyed and others were greatly reduced. Our watershed contains many species of fish—some are native (species were here before people) and some are not. Directions: Try to find the fish in the Muskegon River picture below, taken near Davis Bridge in Mecosta County.

    STATE OF MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES July 1997 Muskegon River Watershed Assessment Richard P. O'Neal FISHERIES DIVISION SPECIAL REPORT Number 19 [Excerpt] Dams and Barriers There are numerous dams and impoundments in the Muskegon River watershed (Figure 11). Many dams are not registered with the State of Michigan and are established on tributary streams. Impoundments of these small dams are usually for swimming, fishing, wildlife, and aesthetics. Many small impoundments are often created by improper placement of culverts for road crossings over streams. Some of the registered dams are lake level control structures on the outlets of lakes. There are 32 dams registered with the State (Table 15). Four dams are currently located on the mainstem and include Reedsburg Dam (constructed in 1940), Rogers Dam (constructed in 1906), Hardy Dam (constructed in 1931), and Croton Dam (constructed in 1907). Reedsburg Dam is a wildlife flooding located at the headwaters of the river, just below Houghton Lake. The other three are large hydroelectric dams with large impoundments, located in the middle portion of the river (Figure 2). Two other dams were located on the mainstem but have been dismantled. Newaygo Dam was constructed in 1900 and dismantled in 1969 and Big Rapids Dam was constructed in 1866 and dismantled in 1966 (hydropower starting in 1906). Remnants of the Big Rapids Dam (the sill) are still present. Dams and impoundments affect river ecosystems in many ways. Some effects are obvious and can be measured directly using relatively short studies. Other effects are more subtle, occurring over long periods of time, and requiring long, expensive studies to evaluate.
