Lake Michigan lacks Lifeguards

Lake Michigan is considered the deadliest Lake in America, yet 99% of the coastal towns beaches in Michigan don’t have a lifeguard. Over the last fifteen years, more than 640 people lost their lives in the lake and many more were rescued. State Parks got rid of their lifeguards in 1993 and many municipalities followed suit.
