What divers may encounter
Three reviewed connections are featured here. Sightings vary by season, conditions, and chance, so they are never guaranteed.
Lake Trout
Salvelinus namaycushThe Construction Crane stands in about 70 feet in DeTour Passage. Michigan DNR reports stable lake trout abundance and strong natural reproduction in northern Lake Huron, so a passing encounter is plausible.
