The Northwest Michigan Freshwater Community

Northwest Lower Michigan is blessed with abundant and magnificent water resources. From Lake Michigan to the largest inland lakes in the state, from beautiful bays to pristine trout streams, this region's economy and quality of life is based on these important water resources.

Many are committed to protecting and restoring water quality while others involve citizens in maritime history or water-based recreation. All are important in educating people about the significance of water to our region.
