Fence Post

Otsego Lake short history: The fence post is located on Mancelona Road at the south end of the lake heading west. Otsego Lake was the long-time summer residence of Arthur Compton. Compton received the Nobel Prize for physics in 1927 for his work with x-Rays and what later became known as "The Compton Effect". During World War II, he was a key figure in the Manhattan Project that developed the first nuclear weapons. Otsego Lake is 1,972 acres, and 5 miles long and 1 mile at its widest. In general, it is a shallow lake averaging about 6–8 feet in most places, with a maximum depth of approximately 25 feet in a few spots. The bottom shoal composed of sand and light gravel forms many "drop-offs" and holes. The lake is full of vegetation which is submerged at the bottom of the lake with very few floating vegetation.
