Greenwood Reservoir is a man-made body of water located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan near the town of Greenwood. The reservoir was created in the 1930s as part of the Greenwood Hydroelectric Project, which provides hydroelectric power to the surrounding areas. The reservoir is fed by both surface flow and snowpack, with the majority of the water coming from snowmelt in the spring. The reservoir is used for a variety of recreational activities, including fishing, boating, and camping. The surrounding area is largely agricultural, with farms and fields dominating the landscape. The reservoir and its surrounding lands are owned and managed by the U.S. Forest Service, which works to maintain the area's natural beauty and protect its valuable resources.
