My family has had a cottage on Lake Huron in Georgian Bay since before I was born. In the late 70's I could remember the waterline at different times either leaving no beach or a small beach that was maybe 10'.
These days the waterline is so low that there is a 20' to 25' beach that's bigger then I can ever remember when I was growing up. However, I also remember when I was growing up how the waterline before I was born was so low that the beach would have been close to 30'.
