The water level of Lake Michigan–Huron had remained fairly constant over the 20th century. [36] Recent lake levels include record low levels in 2013 in Lakes Superior, Erie, and Michigan-Huron, [37] followed by record high levels in 2020 [38] in the same lakes.

Activists urge remediation to slow the flow of waters through the St. Clair River and out of the lake system, to restore former water levels. [11] However, as of October 2020, the Lake Huron water is averaging 581.5 feet above sea level, [12] which is considerably above the Datum of 577.5 feet, and above the Mean Long-Term Water Level of 578.8 ...
The Lake formed from the aggregation of Glacial Lakes Houghton, Chippewa and Hough, and Stanley as water levels increased. Levels returned and Lake Chippewa again flowed through the canyon at Mackinac until around 7,500 YBP. At that time, the waters in the Michigan basin, Huron basin, and the Superior basin created a single lake encompassing ...
