Lake Michigan, which normally comes up 2 inches in June, is up 5 inches through 22 days.
Lake Michigan is by no means at or even near its long-term average, but it’s getting closer every month. Right now, the lake is about 14 inches below the average June level from 1918-2007. The lake’s current elevation, 578.1 feet above sea level, is 4 inches above last year’s water height.
Higher lake levels mean Great Lakes shippers can carry more freight and might mean easier recreational boating for many.
