About
An oxbow lake is left from an old river channel. The new meanders in the mile-wide river valley were created by the river channel. The entrance road of the trail leads to a ridge. It is a good area for ice fishing. The brochure has a map. The page will be smaller if the print area is shrunk to the printed area. The Manistee River is being quoted.
