54-acre lake near Lake County. The lake tops out around 17 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Becoosin maps at 54 acres behind 2 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (2) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 94% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. End to end it runs roughly 0.6 mi, about 0.4 mi across. It sits in Lake County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Benezie, is 1 mi to the east.
Spring puts yellow perch in skinny water — 3 to 12 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 5 to 17 ft; cold water stacks them in 5 to 17 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 3 ft, rated prime for spring yellow perch. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm covers the summer program.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
