Thread Lake
I've been told that thread lake is extremely deep and that in some spots they've never found the bottom of the lake. I cant count the number of lures, hooks and bobbers I've lost in that lake. I've only caught one or two tiny bluegill that weren't even worth keeping. I've seen massive fish jump far out in the lake, but never caught any of them. I've not had very much luck with this particular lake, and neither has anyone else I know for that matter. I've not had one experience at that lake where I didn't lose something in it....Thread Lake is an extremely underused and abused area of Flint.  It is underused because the lake hardly often sees any form of traffic on it's waters.  It is abused in the sense that in the past, the neighborhood has used its waters and shores as a dumping area.  Thread Lake is very shallow in areas and can sometimes be hard to navigate, so a shallow boat or canoe is highly recommended.  The lake is host to a large variety of plant life, and has many small isolated islands of which wild iris flowers thrive.  These are great places for fish to mate, particularly Carp.  The fishing on the lake is often difficult, due to muddy water conditions, but you can find most game species in its waters....

Flint Park Lake
When I went this summer of 2009 just to see what what is now called Devils Lake. It was nothing but overgrown weeds and grass. I really didn't see where you could enter the park. But the stories I've heard I wouldn't want to even walk around there as if it was a real park!...It's a deadly mudhole where undercurrents drown anyone who tries to swim in it. It's...
