Houghton Lake Roscommon County May 22, 2012
Michigan Dept. of Natural Resources 2012-141 Status of the Fishery Resource Report Page 1 Houghton Lake Roscommon County May 22, 2012 Richard P. O'Neal, Fisheries Biologist, Muskegon Environment Houghton Lake is located in the central portion of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan in Roscommon County (Figure 1). The lake is part of the headwaters of the Muskegon River Watershed along with Higgins Lake and the Cut River that connects the two lakes. Houghton Lake is the largest inland Lake in Michigan with an area of 20,075 surface acres (Breck 2004). The maximum depth of Houghton Lake is 22 feet, and the majority of the lake is shallow with an average depth of 8.4 feet and an estimated total volume of 165,072 acre-feet. Houghton Lake has several small tributary streams, including Backus, Denton, and Knappen creeks. The primary upstream flow comes from Backus Creek, which flows through a series of reservoirs about 6 miles upstream from Houghton Lake. Denton Creek also flows through a reservoir about 1 mile upstream. The Cut River, a tributary of Backus Creek, connects Houghton Lake with 238-acre Marl Lake and 9,600-acre Higgins Lake. The distance between Houghton and Higgins lakes is about 10 stream miles. Downstream from Houghton Lake, the Muskegon River initially flows to the northwest but eventually curves to the southwest and flows for 212 miles to Lake Michigan (O'Neal 1997). Human development within the watershed of Houghton Lake has significantly altered fisheries habitat within and around the lake. Affects of development have been typical of those reported for other north temperate lakes (Christensen et al.

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.
