Garden and Hog Islands, Michigan

An archipelago in northern Lake Michigan has little in the way of human settlement. However, offshore ridges offer ideal breeding ground for trout.

Congratulations to Cyndy Hunting and CEM for being the quickest to solve the puzzler. Also congratulations to Shawn O for providing interesting details about the submerged ridges.
