LOST LAKE is 1 of 8 turquoise sinkhole lakes hidden in Gaylord Michigan!

“If you’ve never visited one of Gaylord, Michigan’s sinkhole lakes, add it to the top of your to-do list. Not only is venturing out into The Pigeon an adventure in its own right, but the sinkhole lakes add an extra splash of intrigue. Aqua and turquoise on the surface, these small forest lakes take a serious plunge in the center, some reaching depths of 60 feet.”
“Viewing the sinkhole lakes and accessing them are two very different objectives. If you want the up close and personal experience, be prepared for some walking with a steep decline at the end. Section 4, Lost, North Twin and South Twin Lakes aren’t far from the main road and have a solid footpath with a steep finish down to the water’s edge. North Twin and Lost Lakes have log stairs built into their trails. West Lost requires a bit more two tracking but is reachable and has a flatter entry.”

What are Gaylord’s Sinkhole Lakes?
Tucked among the trees at Pigeon River Country State Forest near Gaylord, you’ll find a handful of tiny turquoise gems. These sinkhole lakes make the perfect Northern Michigan adventure for a day trip and a fun place to fish, swim or float.
“A retired DNR geologist, Ty Black from the Roscommon area, told me those lakes were formed due to dissolving salts about 900 feet below the surface around 10,000 years ago. Because the lakes are not stream fed but water fills them from deep within the Earth, the water has a bluish green tint when viewed near noon (high sun).”
“From approximately 1948 to 1972, these lakes were restricted to the public because the DNR was conducting trout studies using them. They were ideal laboratories for the research project because the lakes are not fed fresh water from a stream or creek.”

Up lately and haven’t been using the GoPro as much as I was. My more recent videos should be a lot easier on the eyes.
