Higgins lake - Great Lakes
Higgins Lake offers a freshwater dive experience for those exploring the Great Lakes. You'll find a few sunken boats and maybe even a snowmobile down there, scattered across the silty bottom. It’s an interesting spot for practicing navigation or getting comfortable with cold water diving, though visibility can vary. Best suited for local divers looking for something different.
