Lake Lavine is a small lake, , in south central Michigan. Located in Kinderhook Township, Branch County, Michigan approximately from Kinderhook, Lake Lavine is situated approximately north of the Indiana state line: directly north of the Lake James chain of lakes located in Indiana. Lake Lavine is a deep lake (71 feet maximum) with steep drop-offs. Speed boats are allowed during the hours of 10:00 am until 6:30 pm. On the southeastern shore there is a state-operated public fishing site with a paved boat ramp. The terrain surrounding Lake Lavine is gently rolling woodlands, farm fields, and vineyards. Approximately half of the shoreline is developed, with about 60 summer and permanent homes on the lake. The remaining shoreline is wetlands and undeveloped woodland. The lake is primarily spring fed. The only outlet is located on the lake's northwest end, and is approximately wide and deep where it leaves the lake. Lake Lavine is part of the headwaters of the Prairie River watershed. The Prairie River (Michigan) flows westerly, joining the St. Joseph River just south of the community of Three Rivers. The first recorded residents on the shore of the lake were Cletus and Marie Sidel. They built a cabin on the east shore of the lake in the middle of what is now several private residences. The Sidels were farmers who tended the land near what is now Whaley Road about to the east of the lake. Later in its history, Lake Lavine played host to the notorious criminal John Dillinger, who was rumored to have stayed at a residence on the north side of the lake after his famous break from the Crown Point, Indiana jail. Known for its exceptional fishing, Lake Lavine holds significant numbers of perch, bass, bluegill and rainbow trout. ==See also== *List of lakes in Michigan 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lake Lavine, Michigan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
