High water levels on Lake Michigan and severe storms continue to pose erosion threats to Crescent Beach in Algoma. Heavy rains and high winds have combined to create wave action that limits the use of the popular beach while accumulating debris. Algoma Parks and Recreation Director Sara Robertson says municipal employees have been quick to clean up the beach after weather events, which are unlike any in recent memory.
Robertson says the city will continue to clean up Crescent Beach as needed following weather events. However, she says there is little the city can do to stop erosion damage other than wait for water levels to subside naturally.
