Old Mission Point by Johnny Blood
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has an interesting piece that looks at fluctuations in lake levels over the last century. Although flucuations are considered normal, the article examines the role dredging has played over the years and whether the trend will continue.
The U.S. and Canadian governments are about to embark on a $14.7 million study of water levels on the upper Great Lakes, and one of the first things scientists will be looking at is the theory of an expanding drain hole in Lakes Michigan and Huron that the Army Corps of Engineers might have accidentally opened while dredging a shipping channel in the St. Clair River in the early 1960s.

ok well see i'm doing a project of michigan in my history class and i choose to use this artical to know about the lake but theres one problem theres alot of information but not enough and its not to recent so my advise is to UPDATE and find out more
Hello Kara. This is probably not the article to use to learn all about the Great Lakes. There are 5 of them, they are the largest group of freshwater lakes on the planet, and there is quite a lot of information about them.
I would recommend these three pages:
http://www.great-lakes.net/lakes/
http://www.epa.gov/glnpo/atlas/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Lakes
Good luck on your report!
