2022 Map of Harris Lake

About this map

Ottawa National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where the Presque Isle Wild and Scenic River and its western branch carve through a dense network of glacial water bodies. The geography is defined by an intricate system of forest roads and trails, such as Nfst-8183 Trl and Fisher Rd, which provide access to a wilderness of interconnected lakes and creeks. In the southern portion, Harris Lake stands as a primary landmark near the Wisconsin-Michigan state line, fed by Harris Creek and surrounded by smaller basins like Nell Lake and Genevieve Lake. The naming conventions throughout the area, including Twin Pups Lakes, Osprey Lake, and Foxpaw Lake, reflect a landscape deeply tied to regional wildlife and natural features. This survey illustrates the protected character of the Northwoods, emphasizing the conservation of the watershed and the accessibility of its remote waterways via the Canoe W Branch Presque Isle Trl.
