Looking west along the old logging canal that connects Lake Cadillac to Lake Mitchell.
The M-115 bridge is in the background. Frozen Lake Mitchell lies just beyond.
In the winter the canal freezes over before either of the lakes.
Once the lakes freeze over the canal ice melts and it remains open throughout the winter.
This unusual phenomenon has earned the canal a place in the Guiness Book of Records.
