A small, dramatic sinkhole-style spring set in northern Michigan woods — deep, clear blue water framed by steep banks and mixed hardwoods. Ideal for intimate landscape and waterscape shots, seasonal color, and long-exposure reflections. Visit early morning or late afternoon for soft side lighting; autumn and spring offer strongest color contrast. Trail is short but uneven; parking is limited on Channel Rd and there are no facilities—pack minimal gear and respect fragile edges and private land.
