The Lower Peninsula is feeling the devastating effects of high water levels in the Lakes.
Like many Great Lakes communities, the western shore of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula is feeling the devastating effects of high water levels in the Great Lakes. From businesses in Leland’s Fishtown to roads in Pentwater to waterfront homes in Muskegon, the flooding problem started early in 2019 and has become more urgent. Houses have been lost, and the water isn’t predicted to recede any time soon.
