    Michigan Dept. of Natural Resources and Environment 2010-110 Status of the Fishery Resource Report Page 1 Platte Lake Benzie County, 26, 27N, 15W, Sections 1-3, 33-36, and 26-27. Platte River watershed, last surveyed July 2010 Mark A. Tonello Environment Platte Lake (Fig. 1) is 2,516 acres in size and located several miles northwest of the city of Honor, in northwestern Benzie County, Michigan, in the northwestern Lower Peninsula. The maximum depth of Platte Lake is about 90 feet, with the average depth being about 25 feet. Approximately one third of the lake is shallower than 15 feet. Platte Lake is in the Platte River watershed (Fig. 2), with the Platte River flowing into the southeastern shore of the lake and flowing out of the northwestern shore; there is no lake-level control structure. Platte Lake is accessible to migrations of fish from Lake Michigan, although a seasonal salmon weir is operated by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) on the lower Platte River. The weir is used to temporarily block migrating coho and Chinook salmon so that they can be counted, and in some cases, harvested. The weir is operated annually during September and October. The shoreline of Platte Lake is heavily developed with homes and cottages, except for the southeastern shore where the Platte River flows into Platte Lake. Shallow, near-shore areas of Platte Lake are predominately sand, with large stretches of gravel shoals in 2 to 10 feet of water. The remaining deep water areas are marl, or a muck/marl combination (Seites 2010).

  • Platte and Betsie River Watershed Biosurveys 2018
    MI/EGLE/WRD-20/009 MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, GREAT LAKES, AND ENERGY WATER RESOURCES DIVISION MARCH 2020 STAFF REPORT Biological and water chemistry surveys of selected stations in the Betsie, Platte, and Crystal Rivers, and Herring and Bowens Creeks watersheds; Benzie, Leelanau, Grand Traverse, and Manistee Counties, Michigan; June-September 2018 Introduction Biological and physical habitat conditions of selected water bodies in the Betsie, Platte, and Crystal Rivers, and Herring and Bowens Creeks watersheds; Benzie, Leelanau, Grand Traverse, and Manistee Counties, were assessed by staff of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), Water Resources Division (WRD), Surface Water Assessment Section (SWAS), from June-September 2018. Water bodies include those listed in Table 1. The primary objectives of the assessments were to: 1) Assess the current status and condition of individual water bodies and determine if Michigan Water Quality Standards (WQS) are being met. 2) Evaluate biological integrity temporal trends. 3) Satisfy monitoring requests submitted by internal and external customers. 4) Evaluate the effectiveness of the Nonpoint Source (NPS) Program. 5) Identify NPS of water quality impairment. Watershed Information Platte River Watershed The Platte River is a coldwater designated stream (Michigan Department of Natural Resources [MDNR], 1997) that originates approximately 30 miles upstream from its confluence with Lake Michigan. There are only three designated warmwater tributaries in the Platte River watershed (Table 1). The Platte River starts as an outlet of Long Lake in the western portion of Grand Traverse County. A watershed management plan is available for Long Lake (Great Lakes Environmental Center for The Long Lake Watershed Partnership, 2009).

Kerry Kelly provided the photos. 2 The geological features of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore provide spectacular scenery unique to northern Michigan. The residue of the melting glaciers about 10,000 years ago left Lake Michigan bordered by moraine bluffs, hills & swales, and serene inland lakes. As time passed, the prevailing westerly winds blew the sand out of the moraine bluffs and piled it into perched dunes to create the Sleeping Bear Dunes that we enjoy today. As you travel around Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and northern Michigan, think about ice… A lot of ice.
