Thanks guys. I have used the DNR maps many times, I was just wondering if there were/are any better ones floating around out there.
The ones the DNR provide are good for general use. They just seem to be a little outdated and was hoping to find some with a little more info on them.
Im gonna keep poking around, if I come across any Ill put up the link.

There is the one company that makes a lake map book for areas of our State. NE Michigan area, Southeast area...yada yada. You have to watch it though. The book has lakes that are turned around in their placement of ramps and compass headings.
The latest version for us here in the NE Lower shows Cedar Lake in Alcona County as being next to Lake Michigan!!??:sad:
NICE!! Jewell Lake in Barton City as having a ramp where there is a creek inlet. Not anywhere near the true, one and only, ramp.
The DNR maps are from 1932-1945. Ya think some things have changed at all??
Another fun way to look at lakes is to use Google Earth and fly there to see an aerial view. You can get a good idea as to where there are drop-offs and the such. Pretty cool.

I use both the DNR maps and the Google Earth images to plan out trips to new water. I LOVE Google Earth! You can get a really good idea of the terrain and any other features you might be interested in.
check out lake masters web site you can buy a dvd of michigan that you can upload info to your GPS. I have an old version but in the near future I am planning on upgrading to the newer program that I can upload to my handheld gps. The drawback is the price $110 for the digital lake map dvd but it has a ton of lakes including lake michigan, little/big bays Denoc, western lake erie and Saginaw bay.
Fishweb.com is a site i've used in the past. There maps are a bit better then the ones found on the DNR web site.
