Goodbye Higgins Lake, So Long Torch Lake: This Underrated Michigan Lake Has Camping, Fishing, And Beaches

Michigan is known as the Great Lakes State, but it's home to thousands of lakes in addition to the four Great Lakes that it borders. Two of the state's larger lakes, Higgins and Torch, are among the largest and best-known. The clear waters, sandy beaches, and recreational opportunities of these lakes draw hordes of visitors each year; but if you're looking for something a little less crowded, 5 miles west of Torch Lake is an underrated destination that also has crystal-clear waters and sandy beaches along with excellent fishing and outstanding camping options. So, say goodbye to Higgins Lake, so long Torch Lake, and hello Elk Lake.

Traverse City Coast Guard helicopter rescues sailor off Wisconsin

The U.S. Coast Guard said a helicopter crew based in Traverse City helped rescue a man whose sailboat became stranded on Green Bay island southeast of Menominee, Michigan, at about 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7. The Coast Guard said the man, who was not identified in a release, was rescued by the helicopter crew and was transported to Menominee Regional Airport, where he then was transferred to emergency medical services for treatment of hypothermia. “This rescue reflects the coordination and professionalism of our Coast Guard crews and watchstanders,” said Gregory Grubbs, command duty officer of the Coast Guard Great Lakes District Command Center. “As conditions on the Great Lakes become increasingly unpredictable this time of year, we remind boaters to check weather forecasts before getting underway, ensure their vessels and safety equipment are in working order, and always have a reliable means of communicating in an emergency. The man radioed a mayday call at about 6:08 p.m. Saturday after his 28-foot sailboat lost power. The man reported high winds and concerns that his vessel could capsize. The sailboat became disabled after its battery died approximately 11 miles northwest of the Sturgeon Bay Canal in Wisconsin, the Coast Guard said. The

Special East Jordan team meets end against juggernaut Beal City

BEAL CITY — There’s no discrediting the work that’s been done and progress shown by the East Jordan football team. But, there’s another level to reach still. The Red Devils got an up close look at it Friday night in a Division 8 playoff showdown with powerhouse Beal City. An unbeaten Aggies team built a commanding lead on the Red Devils and never looked back to get to 11-0 on the season after a 41-6 win. “It was a game that we kind of knew some things had to go our way,” East Jordan coach Adam Grybauskas said, speaking highly of Beal City. “They came out and it was obviously very physical and it kind of shocked us a little bit. It just ended up what it was.” It’s now four straight seasons of at least 11 wins for Beal City, who earned a 2024 Division 8 state title and reached the semifinals the year prior. That’s the kind of level Grybauskas one day wants to see the Red Devils competing at, but it takes time. “They’re about as established as you can be,” Grybauskas added on the Aggies. “We’re building something and it’s been something we’re saying, we’re still
