Lakes

LAKE 16  located in Martin township, Allegan county

From Kazoo, go North 131, turn Right on 120th Avenue, to Lake 16 on the right side

The platform is straight out from the boat launch and just past the sand bar. Dive to ~12′ and go left or south along the sand bar you should be able to locate a yellow hose that goes from the sand bar to the platform.

once on the platform… go to the NW corner of the platform, there is a line to the dive bell… go down the cables of the dive bell and there is a boat  off the stern of the boat will be a line that goes further into the loops.

From there you can take one of two circuits the big one has lots of old boats another small platform with toilet and a car. The smaller and shallower one has a snowmobile a boat some old pine trees. 

The visibility is variable, usually dark (so take a light) and its ALWAYS COLD :)

    Diving the Rockaway - South Haven, Michigan by dwmack on September 20th, 2010
    The marine forecast had been calling for lake conditions that would have been less than comfortable the whole weekend so an alternate site, Lake 16, was chosen for a Sunday afternoon dive.

    Indian Lake then the river in Niles by dwmack on August 20th, 2011
    Indian Lake - Just a bit of metal detecting (8-20-11) Well the Lake Michigan wreck dive was postponed due to weather constraints so it was off to Indian Lake in Dowagiac to do a little metal detecting and then to Niles to check out the river.

    Darrin and Jim Can Grub Too by admin on September 11th, 2011
      Darrin and Jim re-visited the boat ramp above the waste treatment plan to verify reports of great river vis.
