Look Out for Loons

Did you know that Michigan loons are endangered? There is an estimated population of less than 500 loon pairs. Unfortunately, the development of homes on lakes lead to the elimination of nesting places for loons and the use of motorized watercraft can scare them away. However, we at Pettit Lake have decided to be a part of the LOON WATCH. We have large areas of natural lake shoreline and commit to keeping a safe distance from the loons when out enjoying the lake.
