Water Levels in the Great Lakes

This past year, water levels in the Great Lakes have reached historic highs. As a result, our area lost a significant amount of shoreline. To preserve our pristine beachfront property, the Huron House has installed an ascetically pleasing sea wall in the Spring. We will continue providing summer beach access for our guests as nature allows, however, it is still uncertain how the rising water levels will continue to affect neighboring shoreline access in the coming year.

March is maple sugaring seasoning in Michigan, making this nature's sweetest time of year! It's the natural world's signal that winter is transitioning to spring, because collecting maple sap requires a delicate balance between below-freezing nights and warmer days. Michigan ranks fifth in the nation for maple syrup production, with an economic impact of nearly $2.5 million annually.
