Small concrete outlet dam where Crystal Lake spills into the Betsie River — offers dynamic water motion, rocky foregrounds, walking paths and surrounding hardwoods. Best at sunrise or after rain for flow; autumn brings vivid foliage. Easy roadside parking on Mollineaux Rd; bring waterproof boots for low-angle shots.
