It’s Sunday. It’s Summer. It’s time to enjoy the Michigan Lakes.

Just south of Frankfort Michigan in Benzie County, Blaine Township, you will find two beautiful  Michigan Lakes, Lower Herring Lake and Upper Herring Lake. They are conveniently located just off M-22. Finding them is easy, just watch for the signs along M-22.

Upper Herring Lake is 540 acres in size with reported depths of 26 feet. The lake flows thru the Herron Creek, also known as Herring Creek, into Lower Herring Lake. Lower Herring Lake (pictured) is 450 acres in size with reported depths of 51 feet. Lower Herring Lake drains into Lake Michigan, which is just a three minute walk.

As far as the fishing goes, the word on the street is Bass and Walleye for both of these lakes.

Enjoy!
