Summary
The June 2001 Beacon reported that Lake Michigan’s level around Beaver Island was steady but rising more slowly than usual for the spring thaw-to-July period. It attributed the temporary balance to runoff and rain competing with evaporation and below-normal late-spring precipitation.
Evidence limits
This is a qualitative newspaper observation without a gauge reading or formal hydrologic series.
