Weir

As the creek reaches the lake, it encounters remnants of a small dam or weir, most of which has been broken out. Some rebar remains. Depending upon river level (flow) and lake level (which varies year to year, decade to decade), the weir can form a really nasty hydraulic. (With recent high lake levels, this weir is totally underwater and a non-issue.)

The WE Energies powerplant discharges cooling water immediately adjacent (to the right), which contributes to the unusual currents found here. Fishermen love this spot, hanging lines from the pathways flanking this location, so be alert!
