The History of Bay Harbor
In the late 19th century, a limestone quarry was opened on property that is now Bay Harbor. Around 1917, Petoskey Portland Cement incorporated with the purpose of manufacturing cement. For over 80 years, Petoskey Portland and its later holding-company owner, Penn-Dixie, provided jobs for hundreds of workers. Mining operations and a massive cement plant operated over 1,200 acres (4.9 km2) and 5 miles (8 km) of Lake Michigan shoreline on Little Traverse Bay. Ceasing operations in the 1980s, the cement plant was abandoned, leaving a brownfield landscape of chromium brick, asbestos, coal and 2.5 million cubic yards of kiln dust.
In 1993, several parties joined together to undertake what would become the largest reclamation in North America. In 1994, simultaneous explosions demolished the cement plant smokestacks. Eight months later, the barrier between Bay Harbor and Little Traverse Bay was removed, and water rushed in at the rate of 1,000,000 US gal/min (63 m3/s). Within 24 hours, over 2.5 billion US gallons (9,500,000 m3) of water formed Bay Harbor Lake.
