Reservoir report
Michigan has over 1200 dams, 200 of which are major dams, many of which form significant reservoirs. The state's major reservoirs include Lake St. Clair, Houghton Lake, Higgins Lake, Hubbard Lake, Manistee Lake, and Hamlin Lake. These reservoirs are primarily fed by various rivers, including the St. Clair River, Au Sable River, and Manistee River. Michigan's hydrology is heavily influenced by snowpack and winter precipitation, which provide the bulk of the water supply for the state's streams and reservoirs. The Upper Peninsula, with its higher elevations and colder temperatures, typically has higher snowpack levels and more significant snowmelt runoff than the Lower Peninsula. Some areas of the state have experienced record high water levels and flooding in recent years, while other areas have experienced drought conditions. Seasonal trends in water levels vary by location and depend on factors such as snowmelt timing and precipitation patterns. Overall, Michigan's reservoirs and dams play a crucial role in regulating water supply and managing flood risk in the state.

Reservoir FAQ

About Michigan dams & reservoirs

Where does the Michigan dam data come from?

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers National Inventory of Dams (NID) plus state water-resource agencies. Snoflo joins these public records with live USGS streamgauge readings downstream where available. The NID is the canonical federal dam registry.

What does Hazard Potential mean?

USACE classifies every dam by what would happen if it failed: Low (no loss of life expected, minimal economic damage), Significant (no loss of life but economic, environmental, or lifeline damage), High (loss of life expected). It's a downstream-consequence rating, not a likelihood of failure.

What is Normal Storage in acre-feet?

The volume of water the reservoir holds at its normal operating level, measured in acre-feet. One acre-foot is about 325,851 gallons or 1,233 cubic meters — the amount needed to cover one acre to a depth of one foot.

Why are some Michigan dams missing storage or height data?

USACE NID records can have gaps for small or older dams that pre-date federal reporting requirements. Snoflo surfaces whatever the canonical record contains. If a dam you care about has incomplete data, contact the operating agency or USACE for updates.

Can I see live water levels?

Yes — tap any dam name to open its detail page, which pulls live storage data from USGS streamgauges or operating-agency feeds where available. Historical levels and seasonal averages are also shown.

Why does Michigan have so many dams?

The U.S. has over 90,000 dams — most built between 1930 and 1980 during the federal water-development era. Michigan's count reflects a combination of agricultural irrigation needs, flood control, hydropower, and recreation. The "Built by decade" chart above shows the timeline.
