Id be interested too.
There are two that i know of, but i have no idea how to get in contact with the owners. all i have is a view from google maps
Pelican Lake (US23 near Exit 9), And Belleville Lake (where 94 and 12 come together). See the images below
Let me know if you find out anything else

We might be taking a member or two this year - we're out by Brighton but not on the Google Earth tool. PM me if you're interested.

Does this mean the fight to keep your course is a losing battle?

It's looking that way right now. We still haven't received an official letter revoking the permit but the yahoo that is complaining is pettitioning the neighbors in the course area to at least have it moved. From the sounds of it now we will need to build a submersible as we don't want to have to deal with a portable course every time we ski the course.

One of our skiers use to ski Belleville Lake and he says it is worse than our current situation due to the excessive boat traffic. Another one has skied Pelican Lake but I can't remember the issues there. I'll try to get contact information for both and post.

I'd make sure he visited my house with petition in hand and I'd answer the door with lighter in hand... What a PITA this guy must be.
