Lake Michigan water levels expected to continue to rise this summer

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Going into this recreational season, you will want to use caution. Water levels on Lake Michigan are expected to go up another 8 to 10 inches this summer.

This prediction from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers would set the record for monthly highs for June and July.

Water levels have risen 5.5 feet on lakes Michigan and Huron since 2013 when record lows were set on the Great Lakes.

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy says rainfall totals have contributed the high-water levels.
