Houghton Lake dredging set for next week March 12, 2021, by Eldin Ganic
In an effort to complete critical work ahead of the spring boating season, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources will have dredging work done, starting March 15, at the West Houghton Lake and South Houghton Lake boating access sites in Roscommon County.
The west site (located in Lake Township) and the south site (located in Denton Township) will have their lagoons dredged to allow for the safe passage of boat traffic into and out of Houghton Lake.
“Because the dredging will create unsafe/unstable ice conditions around the boating access sites, the public is warned to stay away from the sites until work is completed. DNR project managers expect the dredging to be finished in about two weeks,” according to their official statement.
