Lake Nepessing plane wreck?

[brewmasher]

I just spent a wonderful weekend on Lake Nepessing near Lapeer. One of the long time residents told me that there was a plane wreck in the lake, and if I could find the coordinates he would take me out there to dive it. Anybody hear of anything, or is this just urban legend?

I dont live to far from Lapeer, I have never heard of this. So I would think urban legend.

I grew up around that area and knew someone that had a cabin there and I have never heard of it.

I live near there as well. Been out on that lake boating and jet skiing. Its not a lake that I would think would be great for diving. First, its not deep at all (deepest depth is about 25 feet). Second the weeds in the lake are very thick. Most of the lake has a weedbed up to a couple feet from the surface. In fact, there have been a few drownings on that lake from swimmers who have gotten tangled up in the weedbeds. My bet is that the sunken plane is an urban legend.

Thank you all for your reply. I was there last weekend and talked to a few more people. Yea, the plane wreck is probably legend. I also heard of another story about a paddle wheel boat that sank and was never found due to the silt. The shallow depths and weeds make it more conducive to snorkeling than diving.
