Little Traverse Conservancy and several of its preserves sit on the shores of Round Lake. This lake is fed from the southwest, starting at springs near M-199, flowing through Spring Lake, Mud Lake and then into Round Lake. This drainage system flows east, despite its proximity to Lake Michigan, through Crooked Lake, Burt Lake, Mullett Lake and ultimately draining into Lake Huron through the Cheboygan River. Round Lake covers 605 acres and is about nine feet deep at its deepest point. Anglers can expect to catch a variety of fish including Bluegill and Yellow Perch.
