About this map

Whitefish Bay and the shoreline of Lake Superior dominate this northern Michigan landscape, where the waters of Pendills Bay meet a coastline marked by Salt Point. The area is defined by its complex hydrography, including the namesake Pendills Lake and the smaller Avery Lake and Little Avery Lake further inland. A notable concentration of activity centers on the Pendills Creek National Fish Hatchery, situated near the mouth of the creek as it enters the bay.

Public access and recreation are central to the region's character, evidenced by the Bayview Camp Grounds and the Big Pines Picnic Area. The terrain is drained by several watercourses, including Grant Creek, Viddian Creek, and Ladd Creek. While mostly rural and forest-heavy, the network of local roads such as S Plantation Rd provides a look at the modern land use and accessibility of this coastal Chippewa County reach.
