Lake Huron
This was the Lake Huron shore at Tawas Point, Michigan. We recently toured the Lake Huron shore from the thumb to the bridge and discovered two things, that Lake Huron is much clearer than Lake Michigan and that its shore is not sand dunes as is Lake Michigan's. We also found the water very high in the Great Lakes, in some places threatening homes and recreation areas and washing away beaches. These photos illustrates what we found.
