Lake Michigan Boating

[Lake Michigan Boating]

There is an Inland Waterway in northern Michigan that runs from Crooked Lake near Harbor Springs, through the Crooked River to Burt Lake. Indian River is at the south end of Burt Lake. I live about a half mile down the Indian River and you can tie up in front of my house if you want. Another 5 miles down the Indian River and you hit Mullett Lake. Burt and Mullett are two of the five biggest lakes in Michigan. At the north end of Mullett Lake is the Cheboygan River that leads out to Lake Huron. Mackinaw Island is about 15 miles, Les Cheneux(sp?) Islands are on the south side of the Upper Pennisula and the North Channel is about 30 miles across Lake Huron and runs through a beautiful part of Canada. There's a trailer service that hauls boats from Harbor Springs to Crooked Lake, or Crooked Lake to Harbor Springs. There are multiple places to stay. Most people do the Inland Waterway on one day, but you can take a week if you want. Remember everything that's waiting after you get to Lake Huron. Call me with any questions 231-838-7420

 

 

IndianRiver great post! We frequent this area all the time based from the mouth of the river at Burt. If anyone is trailering there are multiple launches in the southeast corner of Burt lake and on the Indian River. If Burt lake is rough you can take a 45 minute river ride to Mullet Lake to find smooth water for pulling the kids on the tube or skis or relax on the sand bar.

[Factory Prop for 2002 190LS]

Hi Greg, I just bought our first boat. A 2002 190 LS. Mine has the 5.0GL Volvo engine and the prop on it is an aluminum 22 pitch 3 blade. Top end WOT is running 52 on the speedometer, I haven't checked against the GPS yet. That is putting my RPMS right at 4,500 for the short time I had it there. If you find out what was on it from the factory let me know I haven't been able to find that anywhere yet.
