If you think it’s hard to find crystal-clear water outside of the Caribbean, you’ve never been to Higgins Lake in Michigan. The area is a vacationer’s dream thanks to an abundance of activities on and off the water, making it a perfect choice for anyone looking to relax for a weekend, spend a weeklong family vacation, or find a new place to call home.
Whether you visit in the dead of winter or the middle of summer, Higgins Lake is one of the most picturesque sites in Michigan. The lake is known for its deep, vibrant blue waters and is named for Sylvester Higgins, the first chief of the topography of the Michigan Geological Survey. The lake is a mecca for fishing, boating, swimming, and so much more among its twenty-one miles of shorelines.
Our lake art of Higgins Lake provides a beautiful look at the topography of the lake and surrounding area. Using a bathymetric chart, an artist intricately laser cuts pieces of high-quality birch into layers that replicate the natural depth of the lake’s shoreline. Each piece is then hand-stained, and significant points of interest, roads, and water depths are etched into the map’s surface. The entire wood lake is completed with a custom-sized solid wood frame and acrylic glass sheet to give this piece its one-of-a-kind look.
Hang this topographical wood map in your home or office and inspire future travel to Higgins Lake.
