High above the Flat River 1.5 miles north of Lowell, MI The dam and mill operations down river have influenced the behavior of the Flat River for 150 or more years. So the broad floodplain partly visible on the left of the photo no longer regularly receives deposits of flooding silt. But its scale and broad expanse continue to impress hikers along this high embankment that the NCT (North Country Trail) follows, as indicated by the recurring blue blazes painted on trees and other trail markers every 50 or 100 yards like the one near the middle of this photo.
