Thus by historical naming convention, Lake Michigan and Lake Huron are usually considered distinct, e.g. in lists of the largest lakes in the world by area and volume.
Along with those big fluctuations, there will likely be an overall long-term increase in Lake Michigan's water levels, according to a peer-reviewed University of Michigan study published in 2022 ...

[36] Recent lake levels include record low levels in 2013 in Lakes Superior, Erie, and Michigan-Huron, [37] followed by record high levels in 2020 [38] in the same lakes.

The main strait is 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 miles (5.6 kilometers) wide with a maximum depth of 295 feet (90 meters; 49 fathoms), [2] and connects the Great Lakes of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. Given the large size and configuration of the straits, hydrologically, the two connected lakes are one body of water, studied as Lake Michigan–Huron.
Tensions have arisen between the city of Racine and Mount Pleasant over water which the city provides to developments, including Microsoft, in the village. Here's why water is so important to data ...
By surface area, Lake Huron is the second-largest of the Great Lakes, with a surface area of 23,007 square miles (59,590 km 2)—of which 9,103 square miles (23,580 km 2) lies in Michigan and 13,904 square miles (36,010 km 2) lies in Ontario—making it the third-largest fresh water lake on Earth (or the fourth-largest lake, if the Caspian Sea ...
Michigan’s largest region by wine volume, the Lake Michigan Shore area stretches along Lake Michigan from the Indiana border north to the Kalamazoo River. Although established as an AVA in 1987 ...
