Wixom Lake

Need a hiring hero? This is a job for Indeed Sponsored Jobs.

This is Wixom Lake, home to a humble marina, a waterfront church camp, a lakeside campground, and a host of small neighborhoods where front yards connect to the road network and backyards connect to docks.

But Wixom Lake isn't actually a lake.

Rather, it's a river, the Tittabawassee River, whose flow happens to be suddenly upended by the Edenville Dam, creating a human-made reservoir.

But whatever you call it, a lake, a river, a reservoir, this nondescript body of water in a nondescript section of central Michigan has real problems that start and will end with the dam.
