This is one of the few lakes in Michigan where the Common Loon is known to nest and raise chicks. Loons are a threatened species in Michigan. There are fewer than 300 nesting pairs in our state. Loons usually raise one or two chicks per year.
DO YOUR PART - PLEASE KEEP YOUR DISTANCE
Any disturbance can cause these birds to desert their nest of chicks, meaning the loss of the young. Loons are protected under the Michigan Endangered Species Act and the Federal Migrant Bird Treaty Act.
Report any harassment of Loons to the local Department of Natural Resources Office or to the DNR's POACHING HOTLINE (1-800-292-7800)
