Mac Road near Bowman Semi-Primitive Area, 1957 aerial photo (photo courtesy of the Lake County Road Commission) Mac (sometimes spelled Mack) Road runs north-south through Lake County. It is not continuous, but short segments can be found in several places. Its name comes from the MacDougall Lodge, which was built in 1909 by the MacDougall family. Grant MacDougall, about 1960 (photo courtesy of the Lake County Historical Society) In the mid 1900's Grant MacDougall designed a boat suitable for poling which was used for guided trips on the Pere Marquette river, originating at the Lodge. One of these unique boats is on display at the Lake County Museum in Baldwin.
