Description: "Shanty Town" Each January sees the rebirth of tip-up shanty towns on frozen Michigan lakes and bays as hearty ice fishermen pursue a variety of quarry. U.S. - 41 travelers are always assured of seeing these winter communities on Keweenaw Bay, one of the more popular Copper Country sites. But alas, the "towns" disappear with each spring thaw.
