Serene Mini Waterfalls - Gladwin County MI

By
Real Estate Agent with Better Homes and Acres

Gladwin County is located in the heart of Michigan and offers a peaceful setting for those who desire it. It is conveniently located to larger area cities such as Bay City, Midland, West Branch, Clare and Mt. Pleasant. And half way between Detroit and the Mackinaw Bridge for a rather central, yet northern location. The county has thousands of acres of state land, many lakes and rivers for nature lovers, hunters and boaters.

Collectively, the waterfalls can be heard from a distance if the wind is not too strong. This is a pike stream located in Billings Township. In the summer months the creek may dry completely, yet in the spring, it rushes on its way to the Tittabawasse River which flows into Wixom Lake. Approximately 2000 acres of boating and fishing await you on All Sports Wixom Lake.

The constant sound of the waterfalls is relaxing to the soul. It's a great way to start a day this time of year! With the change of seasons in Michigan, we must conform to the temperature in regards to what we like to do (outside) and when we dress to go out. Time to put away the fur coats (Can you see me in a fur coat? No, I didn't think so!), longs johns and moon boots! Jackets will be needed all summer and through the fall! It does get warm in the summer, sometimes almost hot! Rarely will the temperature ever exceed 100 degrees.

Marilyn, I think everyone loves the sounds of a waterfall! And how nice to have it within earshot, versus taking a trip to look at and hear one!

Coming soon: Clint Black, Dion, Cheech & Chong, Credence Clearwater, Englebert Humperdink, Rodney Carrington and Jason Aldean, who will be there on April 9'th is already sold out!!

Jim & Maria, The pike stream has been enjoyed by many over the years, and the creek just runs as fast as it can towards the river. Double thanks!

Gerry, Our weather is 80's & 90 in the summer and winter's usually aren't much below 0. Yes, nature pictures  are so very nice. Thanks!

Jane, I do enjoy hearing it in the spring & fall as I walk to my car. If there's no wind, I can hear them as soon as I walk out my back door. Thank-you.

Adam,  Yes they are, and Thank-you!

Have a beautiful day!

Hi Marilyn,

I really enjoyed the pictures, and the sound of rushing water is great to listen to!!!  So relaxing!!!

When you said it was a "pike" stream-do you mean Northern pike or walleye?

They are Northern Pike, "hammer handles" - not many big ones in this stream, they must find a bigger creek ....

Hi Marilyn, can you please explain how the Northern got that nickname?  Does that mean you hit them with a hammer before you handle them?  I know my dad did that sometimes with a paddle when we fished up in Minnesota and Manitoba.

Never heard that phrase before.

Hi Bruce, Because they are the size of a hammer handle! How funny! It may work! I can almost see him swingin the paddle !!!!!   Most people use spears of whatever kind?? - It's illegal... We just like to see them, they're kind of ugly and yet beautiful at the same time! We would never hurt them! Thanks for your interest!

OK-Marilyn.  Makes perfect sense!  Boy, am I a dummy!  The Northern spawn in the little stream and you see the little yearlings!  They are kind of cute at that age-but still very carnivorous!

Hi Bruce, Let there be light ! Did the light come on? !!!! Yes, the bigger ones must have to find a bigger stream! Enjoyed your comments! Thanks.
