Fishing
A wonderful benefit of a clean lake that many of us enjoy is fishing. In fact according to the Friends of the Rouge Fish Survey of Upper Long Lake conducted between September 21st 2017 and August 29th 2018, they found that "Upper Long Lake has the best quality fish community of the lakes we have surveyed in the area".
