The Coroner’s Office warns the public that although Lake Michigan may look inviting, it is extremely unpredictable.
A couple of key dangers in Lake Michigan may include rip currents, powerful currents of water that are difficult to detect and structural currents, strong flows of water near piers, jetties and breakwalls that can pull swimmers underwater and potentially trap them against structures.
