Higgins Lake (Northwest Shore / State Park Area)

Higgins Lake in Roscommon County is regularly cited as one of Michigan's clearest inland lakes and a popular freshwater shore dive, with the most-dived area off the northwest shore near the boat launch by North Higgins Lake State Park. Divers cross a long shallow sand flat to a drop-off and find several small sunken boats in roughly 40-55 ft of water, with abundant panfish and usually very good visibility. It is a long surface walk/swim, and the nearest air fills are about an hour away, so divers bring filled tanks.
