Little Lake - Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County ----------------------------------------- Little Lake is just west of Ann Arbor off Jackson Rd. Coming from the east on Jackson Rd., cross Wagner Rd. and continue west for 0.75 miles to Parkland Pl. on the left (south) side of Jackson Rd. This is across from the Auto Mall. (The turn is directly across from Lexus of Ann Arbor.) Turn left and continue 0.3 miles to Little Lake Dr. Turn right. Ahead, follow the curve to the left. Shortly after the road straightens (headed south), you'll see water through openings on both sides of the road. This is Little Lake. Most of the water is on the east side of the road, but waterfowl will sometimes be very near the road on the west side. Often times the best place from which to view is the parking lot behind the Home Builders Association building. The parking lot is usually almost empty. (This is the second building on your left, I think, after you turn onto Little Lake Drive.) Little Lake is not shown in the first of the accompanying maps, but in the second map it is the dark green areas to the left and right of the "Little Lake Dr" label.

The small amount of open water remaining is easily scanned from the parking lot behind the Home Builders Assn.. Lee Hefner
