| | at Troll Landing Campground, and not far from Turtle Lake you'll come across Bush Lake which is a striking lake. Turtle Lake is a good site of common rain; most of the rain falls during August, and February is when it's the driest. Lakes are perfect; Elbow Lake is a lake that's next to Turtle Lake, and if you need a place to stay Quality Inn West Branch is a good choice. This lake is so wonderful. Have a good hiking adventure along the Sterling Truck Trail, | |

Elni Lake
 | 19 miles away ...the typical Michigan forest trees - Norway (Red) Pine, White Pine, Quaking Aspen (poplar), Birch, Jack Pine. Elni has plenty of lilypads and is only a so-so fishing lake. Much of the reason for that is that the bottom is very shallow (can freeze to the bottom and kill major populations of fish). Near the swamp, it is sometimes only inches deep and most boats cannot navigate ''the cove'' in the NE corner of the lake. The bottom appears to have a loose mud texture and is, therefore, easily disturbed. But, there is more to that story...
It is a fun lake for story-telling because it has as its bottom several feet of sawdust, which when merged with the natural sand and dirt compounds finds itself much like quicksand. At the top of that bottom layer (sawdust, mostly) is the volatile, easily disturbed, mystery muck. Hence, there isn't a beach on Elni. If you wonder about the veracity of my ''quicksand'' reference, take a good, thick stick (we used young poplars stripped of leaves, etc., to push our raft around the lake) and stick it into the bottom (a little off shore, since the very... |
