Day Hike Project
Winter of 2012-2013
Hiked 100+ Miles
of the accessable
Lake Michigan Coastline
In 2005, the Michigan Supreme Court determined that
the general public has the right to walk along the lakeshore
on land below the ordinary high water mark. The "ordinary
high water mark" is defined as being the point on the shore
where the water presence is continuous as to leave a
distinct mark on the land. It is also important to know that
the court did not address the public's right to use a private
beach for activities other than walking, running, etc. It is
implicit that the public cannot use private property for any
activity outside of those outlined.
In Illinois and Wisconsin, walkers along private beaches
are not trespassing as long as they keep their feet wet.
Indiana allows public access up to the ordinary high‐water
mark of Lake Michigan.
