Ice Fishing

At 40 feet max depth and 227 acres in the Keweenaw Peninsula, Lake Fanny Hooe freezes reliably and early — this is some of Michigan's coldest, snowiest territory. Ice fishing is possible, though it's not a major destination fishery. Be aware that Keweenaw winters are extreme with heavy lake-effect snow, so access can be challenging.
