Is the Crystal Lake Watershed connected to other watersheds?
The Crystal Lake Watershed, containing 17 sub-watersheds, is contiguous to the Platte River Watershed to the North, but is actually part of the Betsie River Watershed to the South. Both of these larger riverine (river) watersheds are in turn parts of the much larger Lake Michigan Watershed to the West. Crystal Lake is an “embayment” lake, i.e. it was once part of a large bay of historical Lake Michigan.
