Lake Macatawa no-wake zones to be discussed
HOLLAND Lake Macatawa s three towns are again considering imposing temporary no-wake restrictions for the upcoming boating season.
Last year, following the passage of new legislation that allowed local governments to enact emergency watercraft control measures, the three municipalities around Lake Macatawa put in place a temporary expansion of existing no-wake zones.
The emergency no-wake zones were put in place to try to mitigate the damage to lakefront properties under the historically high lake levels last summer. Last year, Lake Michigan set water level records month after month, through August.
To impose temporary no-wake zones for a second year, the new state law requires that the municipalities be engaged in the process of seeking permanent no-wake zones.
‘No quick resolution’ in sight for ice jam, flooding along St. Clair River

EAST CHINA, MI Talk about whiplash.
Now, ice is causing flooding along the connecting channel between Lake Huron and Lake St. Clair along Michigan’s thumb region. Local authorities declared a state of emergency last week after the floating brash ice jammed together and began impeding the river’s flow.
“This one did pop up rather quickly,” said Mark White, St. Clair County deputy emergency manager. “Those strong sustained northerly winds just drove all the ice into the river.”
Authorities kicked into high gear in early February along the 40-mile river, which is prone to ice jams in the winter and spring as Lake Huron drains through the waterway along the Michigan-Canada border, which narrows slightly as it empties into Lake St. Clair through a delta system.
