Tammarack Lake

Tammarack Lake is located in the city of Lakeview in northern Montcalm County.  The lake is conveniently located at the intersection of M46 and M91, 16 miles north of Greenville. This Michigan lake of 323 acres of surface water is a rather shallow lake.  Tammarack Lake is known more for the wild fowl who make their home in the lake, than being an all sports water activity.

Coming home the other day, with my eye open for a photo op, I pulled over the car over as I noticed a pair of swans on the edge of the lake. I got my camera out and began snapping a few shots. The swans seemed to be posing for me.

I shot a few more, they were agreeable. Usually the waterfowl just are not interested in letting anybody get close. I felt like they were posing for me. I just shot more and more. It was a delight.

And then it was over. The Tammarack Lake swans turned and glided away to perhaps another appointment. I turned and headed back to my car. What I didn’t realize was, another car had parked and watched the same swans and the photographer. The driver of the car said “I am not sure what I enjoyed more, watching the swans pose for you, or you taking their shots”

It’s fall and there is still time to enjoy a Michigan lake.
