Hiland Lake This lake is first of seven lakes in the Hiland chain of lakes. It covers 123 acres, 12 feet maximum depth and is home to some big fish, according to the folks at Dick’s sport Shop, 3600 Grand River, Howell, MI 48843, 517-546-8530. There have been largemouth bass up to 7 pounds caught her. Bluegills are abundant and are often big. The lake also holds some perch, in the 7 to 8 inch range and crappies that average 9 to 11 inches. If you’re after large gamefish, some big northern pike can found here, also. The pike will strike spinnerbaits, jerkbaits, and of course, a large sucker or shiner minnow is an option. Focus on weeds for pike. Bass busters will do well with a variety of soft plastics fished along submerged weedbeds. Though of modest size, Hiland has plenty of coves, points, narrows and even an island.
Half Moon Lake This lake is the next in the chain and a DNR report on the public access for Half Moon Lake said it’s located “one mile south of Hell”, but don’t let that discourage you from visiting this 236 acre lake and maximum depth of 87 feet. Hell is a tiny community near the Pinckney State Recreations Area, and Half Moon is well worth a ...
What part of “No Wake” don’t you understand?
When you see the “NO WAKE” signs, please SLOW DOWN!
This one is really a no brainer, folks. Most of the Huron is a “no wake” zone for good reason.
In narrow creeks and coves, boat wakes contribute to shoreline erosion. Although this loss of land is a problem for shorefront property owners, it also affects boaters. Eroded sediments create unwanted shoals, cause shallowing of...

Baseline Lake is the second lake in the Portage Chain of lakes. The fish in this 254-acre lake are not especially big, but there are lots of bluegills, crappies, walleyes and yellow perch, plus smallmouth bass and rock bass.

Heading up the Huron River from Tamarack Lake, the next body of water is Whitewood Lake, which many boaters say has one of the best swimming holes on the chain in a quiet bay.
Whitewood Lake is a 62-acre natural, hard-water kettle lake, which consists of a 40-acre downstream west basin and a 22-acre upstream east basin separated by a channel approximately 400 feet long. The channel depth between the two basins varies, but it has a maximum depth of about 15 feet. The east basin has...
