Aerial Photograghs of all lakes and the entire Huron River Chain of Lakes are available for sale in our Ships Store.
This is Portage Lake. At 680 acres, it is the largest of the lakes on the chain.  Our marina is located on the south side of the lake in the little bay on the lower right corner of this picture.  Part of Little Portage Lake is just visible on the lower left.  Just east of our marina is a pulic launch that also gives access to the Huron River and the rest of the lakes on the chain.
This is an aerial view of the chain of lakes with Strawberry Lake in the foreground and Portage in the distance.
This is Base Lake, also known as Baseline Lake.  It is the second lake you will enjoy after leaving our Marina on Portage Lake. Before you enter Base Lake, you can visit Riverside Pizza for terrific Pizza's, Subs and Salads at great prices and the Portage Lake Trading Post next door for all your munchies and beverages. Both have docking right on the river. Also located here along the river is The Log Cabin Hardware/Drake's Fly Shop where you can purchase all of your bait and tackle needs as well as fishing licenses and get the scoop on where the fish are biting and what they are biting on.
This is Whitewood and Gallagher Lakes.  One of the best swimming holes on the chain is in a quiet bay on Whitewood Lake.  There is a little side excursion we like to call the "Jungle Cruise" along the river here.
Strawberry Lake is the second largest lake on the chain.  Beautiful homes grace the bluffs. On the north end of the lake the Huron River continues on to Ore Lake.  Because much of this portion of the river is difficult to navigate, Ore Lake is not considered part of the chain of lakes.  On the southwest side of the lake, Devils Basin connects Strawberry Lake to Zukey Lake.
As one can see from the photo, Zukey Lake has many sandbars.  Good directions and a lake map are valuable navigation tools here.  The sandbar that stretches from the east bank to the west bank is particularly hazardous.  Many boats have bottomed out here.  Toward the end of the summer when the lake levels are lowest the water here is sometimes only ankle deep in the middle of the lake.  Still it is well worth the effort to cross the sandbar to the famous and historic Zukey Lake Tavern. The extensive menu includes sandwiches, burgers, salads, great ribs, steaks, fish and seafood and even some Mexican dishes.  You can order out or dock your boat and go inside.
This is a graphic of the whole chain.

Following are some peaceful scenes along the river.  On summer weekends there are a lot of friendly boaters--weekdays are much quieter.  The following photographs were taken by Bob Coller. A link to his website is at the bottom of this page.  If you are interested in stories, history, more pictures and environmental information on the Huron River Watershed, you will find his website very interesting.  
Thanks Bob!!!
