2014 Map of Prickett Lake

About this map

Prickett Lake sits at the center of this Upper Peninsula landscape, formed by the impoundment of the Sturgeon River near the border of Houghton and Baraga Counties. The area is characterized by a dense network of forest service roads and watercourses within the Ottawa National Forest, indicating a territory managed for timber and recreation. To the west, the prominent Silver Mt rises above the drainage of the Silver River and Little Silver River. The presence of the Prickett Dam and the Fishing Site Rd suggests the reservoir's role as a local focal point for utility and sport. Hikers can trace the winding path of the N Country National Scenic Trail as it traverses the western hills and crosses several creeks, including Couch Cr, before continuing toward the eastern ridges.
