During this twelve-month period, water levels ranged from 1.38 to 0.71 feet (42–22 cm) below Chart Datum. [28] The all-time low-water mark was eclipsed in January 2013. [29] In January 2013, Lake Michigan's monthly mean water levels dipped to an all-time low of 576.2 ft (175.6 m), [30] reaching their lowest ebb since record keeping began in 1918.
Historic high water The lake's water level fluctuates from month to month, with the highest lake levels in October and November. The normal high-water mark is 1.17 feet (0.36 m) above the datum (601.1 ft or 183.2 m). In the summer of 1985, Lake Superior reached its highest recorded level at 2.33 feet (0.71 m) above the datum.
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. The water level in Lake Ontario has remained relatively constant in the same time ...
Along with those big fluctuations, there will likely be an overall long-term increase in Lake Michigan's water levels, according to a peer-reviewed University of Michigan study published in 2022.
Feb. 18—TRAVERSE CITY — A months-long plummet in Lake Michigan water levels — which barely paused for a paltry seasonal rise in 2021 — may have bottomed out, at least for now.
In more recent times and up until May 14, 1871, the lake was a landlocked body of water with a water level about 12 to 14 feet (3.7 to 4.3 m) above the level of Lake Michigan.
The lake level of Crystal Lake was higher than that of Lake Michigan and when the channel was opened, the water level in Crystal Lake dropped about 20 ft (6.1 m). Although the project was a failure, the lowering of the lake level uncovered sandy beaches, including the current public beach at Beulah. [1]
Lake Michigan–Huron (also Huron–Michigan) is the body of water combining Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, which are joined through the 5-mile-wide (8.0 km), 295- foot -deep (90 m), open-water Straits of Mackinac. Huron and Michigan are hydrologically a single lake because the flow of water through the straits keeps their water levels in ...
