  • The Watersheds of Northeast Michigan
    The Watersheds of Northeast Michigan What is a Watershed? Did you know that everywhere you are, you’re within a watershed? A watershed is an area of land that contains a common set of streams, rivers and lakes that all drain into a larger waterbody. Watershed boundaries follow natural features of the landscape, such as a ridgeline or a height-of-land (see diagram at right). Watersheds include both the water features within the area, as well as the land surrounding those water bodies. As a result of the connected nature of a watershed, all activities on the land and water can affect the condition of the larger watershed. A watershed can be divided into progressively smaller watersheds, which are often referred to as subswatersheds. For example, the Klacking Creek Watershed is one of many subwatersheds that can be identified within the larger Rifle River Watershed. Likewise, the Rifle River Watershed itself is part of the larger Lake Huron Watershed. Watershed diagram: www.upperdesplainsriver.org Huron Pines is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization and an equal opportunity provider. Our dynamic staff of ecologists, geographers, biologists and environmental educators think big and act quickly to ensure that Northeast Michigan’s watersheds and wild places will stay healthy and resilient for future generations. Located right in the center of the Great Lakes system, we have the unique privilege and responsibility to protect our treasured lands teeming with wildlife, and to sustain the world’s most important source of fresh water.

    MULLETT LAKE WATERSHED PROTECTION PLAN A PLAN TO PROTECT THE HIGH QUALITY WATER RESOURCES IN THE MULLETT LAKE WATERSHED May 2002 A publication of Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council & Mullett Lake Area Preservation Society 1 MULLETT LAKE WATERSHED PROTECTION PLAN To be completed 1. Cover Page 2. Table of Contents 3. List of Tables/Figures/Appendices 4. Executive Summary 5. Overview 2 1. Introduction Mullett Lake is a large, deep, high quality lake located just east of I-75 in Cheboygan County. Mullett Lake is part of northeast Michigan’s Inland Waterway and is the state’s fifth largest lake, with a surface area of 16,630 acres. The lake is considered mesotrophic and is ranked among Michigan’s top 50 fishing lakes. Mullett Lake lies within six townships: Aloha, Benton, Inverness, Koehler, Mullett, and Tuscarora, and is under the auspices of the Cheboygan County Zoning Ordinance. The Mullett Lake Watershed encompasses over 162,000 acres and is primarily located in Cheboygan County with the headwaters of the Pigeon River originating in Otsego County (just east of the City of Gaylord). Located within Mullett Lake’s Watershed area are the unincorporated communities of Indian River and Topinabee. The Watershed is easily accessible by Interstate 75 and is primarily a water-based recreation area. The major tributaries to Mullett Lake are the Indian River (six river miles), Pigeon River (forty-two river miles), the Little Pigeon River (seven river miles), and Mullett Creek (eight river miles). The Watershed is mostly forested, with lesser amounts of agricultural and urban areas. Cheboygan County is utilized extensively as a tourist area.
