Saginaw Bay
the largest indenture of Lake Huron on the United States side entering the S. peninsula of Michigan, in the eastern part of the State. It is 60 miles long, 30 miles in extreme width, and is bordered by Iosco Bay, and Tuscola and Huron counties. It affords excellent navigation, and is a safe harbor for large vessels. Its surface is usually rough, but not dangerously so, when the open lake is comparatively smooth. The color of the water is plainly different from that of the open lake, being a brownish-green, often termed "tea-water."
