PEDAL THE POTOWATOMI TRAil, MI One of the best in the Midwest, the Potowatomi Trail (locally known as "Poto") ranks up there with the Chicago-accessed Kettles in Wisconsin. The 22 miles of single-track meanders through several lakes in Pinckney, MI. There's actually three adjoining trails: the eight- to 20-mi le Poto, the 5.l-mile Crooked Lake Trail and the 1.9-mile Silver Lake Trail. The trails all have sim ilar terrain. Expect wide- open track with some serious climbing. The single-track is hard-packed so you will really get moving. You'll see more roots and logs than rocks. There are some great camping spots around, but a drawback is you may be sharing the trails with hikers. To get there, take US-23 to North Territorial Road. Head west 10 miles to Dexter-Townhall Road and make a right. Go about a mile to Silver Lake Road and take a left. The parking lot is on your left at Silver Lake Beach. For maps and more information contact the Pinckney Recreation Area at 313-426-4913. 88 Of the more than 4,000 sunken vessels that lie beneath the Great Lakes only about half have been found. The Thunder Bay area contains over 50 accessible shipwrecks ranging from 10 to 150 feet. The Grecian, a 269-foot steel-hulled steamer that collided with another ship south of Thunder Bay Island in 1906, is about five miles southeast of Thunder Bay Island Lighthouse. It lies in 105 feet of water, but it is only about 70 feet to the deck. The boat sits upright and is in excellent condition with good visibility-15 to 30 feet- most of the time. Get inside to explore the three decks through the back deck cabins, the cargo holds or the engine room. Tools, pulleys and other machinery have been well-preserved. The fish life isn't great, but you can see lots of small freshwater sculpins-ornate fish that populate the shipwrecks of the Great Lakes. The Nordmeer is more remote and less frequented by divers. The 470-foot freighter loaded with 900 coils of steel wire struck a reef and went down seven miles north of Thunder Bay Island. It lies in 40 feet of water where visibi lity usually ranges from 20 to 40 feet. Recreational Diving Systems (248-549-0303 or 800-999-0303) runs charters from May to September.
