We have really high tides sometimes, but it goes back out 6 hours later,
not NEXT YEAR. I did not realize the Lakes were variable to that extent.

Joe,
As I understand it, not really. The water levels were really low in
2013 and there was a lot of discussion about how to restrict the
flows. There was discussion of placing restrictive boulders in the
St. Clair river to try to control the outflow from Lakes
Superior/Michigan/Huron. Great Lakes Freighters were limiting loads
to navigate and the Army Corp of Engineers was running out of money
and resources to dredge.
The lakes go through cycles of high and low. Lake Michigan/Lake Huron
record high levels occurred in 1986 but are expected to break those
records next year. Whole sections of Lake Shore Drive between South
Haven and Holland Michigan were lost to bluff erosion. Now some of
the houses left are in danger. All of the other Great Lakes broke
record high levels last year.
Here is a good link to the USACE data:

With Lake Superior as high as it is, I expect Lake Michigan/Lake Huron
to remain high for a while.

This is maybe a really dumb question – is there a way to drain them?
Does anything control the amount of water that heads out to sea down
the St. Lawrence Seaway, Erie Canal, and so on?
