Life of the Straits: Inland Waterway

July 16, 2020

The Inland Waterway cuts across the Northern Lower Peninsula of Michigan connecting Lakes Michigan and Huron. A large portion of the waterway is in the Cheboygan watershed, the largest watershed that drains into the Straits of Mackinac. Ride along with us as we pass through artesian springs, water elevators and more! We wrap up the episode with a fun Q&A with Leigh Ann, who used to work for one of the locks on the Inland Waterway, and an exciting watershed activity you can do at home!
