TBD Sundstrom Island Michigamme, MI 49861
SPECTACULAR SUNDSTROM ISLAND! This island is located just off the southern shoreline, at the western end of Lake Michigamme, which is found in west-central Marquette County. Lake Michigamme's name is derived from a Native American language word meaning large lake. One of Michigan's largest lakes, it covers 4,292 Acres, has about 55 miles of shoreline, and it reaches a depth of over 70 feet. The vast majority of the lake lies in Marquette County, with only its westernmost part extending into Baraga County. The lake has about 95 miles of shoreline, is about six miles in length from east to west, and has a southern arm extending about another four miles. The lake has 27 islands, rock walls and beds, and bays of all sorts of shapes and sizes, and is popular for boating, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, waterskiing, and wakeboarding. A dam separates the Michigamme River from the main body of the lake at the end of the southern arm. The water leaves the lake as the Michigamme River and is joined by other streams until they become the Menominee River, which eventually flows into Lake Michigan. The Spurr River flows into the lake's west end and the Peshekee River flows into the lake in the northeast. The Peshekee offers a thirty mile trip for boaters and kayakers. Van Riper State Park and Van Riper beach are located at the eastern shoreline of the main arm, and there is a public access site to the lake there. Another public access site is available just south west of the Village, which includes a hard surfaced launch site, children's play equipment, beach, and camping area. Known for lots of challenging fishing! Common fish include Bluegill, Brook trout, Crappies, Lake trout, Silver and Tiger Muskies, Northern pike, Perch, Rock bass, Smallmouth bass, Walleye, and even Whitefish in the deeper parts. The Lake Michigamme area has many tourist resorts, and motels. Tourists, Seasonal Dwellers, and Shoppers come to the charming Village of Michigamme which is one the north-western shore, for the many events sponsored by the local businesses and township organizations.
