		Lake Macatawa, in scenic Holland, Michigan, is a rather large lake that, at its western end, feeds into Lake Michigan.
		The eastern end of this lake is partly industrial having a Pfizer plant, a scrap metal yard processing plant, cement plant, and a Heinz Co. processing plant marking its shores.
		As he became comfortable tacking down the lake, he began to enjoy himself, bolstered by my assurance that I had not capsized the boat and had had it out in much heavier wind conditions than we were in now.

	Seeing The Light - Holland Harbor Lighthouse
		As was the case with almost all of the rivers and lakes which fed into Lake Michigan’s eastern shore, the small outlet at Black Lake was blocked by a sand bar formed by wave action depositing sand across the river opening, thereby limiting access to the river to vessels of only the shallowest draft.
		While the construction of the piers served well to open Black Lake to larger vessels, the relatively narrow 200-foot opening between the piers represented a considerable challenge to vessel masters attempting to gain entry during heavy seas, and a number of accidents were experienced as a result.
		While awaiting a Congressional response, on November 4, 1905, a fixed red lens lantern was installed on a 60-foot tall pole on the pier 400 feet to the rear of the pierhead light to serve as a rear range to the pierhead light.
