Welcome to the Kalamazoo Lake and Harbor web portal. This site is maintained by scientists from the Michigan Tech Research Institute (MTRI).

This site reflects the results of an ongoing project co-funded by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, the local municipalities (Allegan County, Saugatuck, Douglas, Saugatuck Township), and individual stakeholders to maintain and improve the recreational value of the lake. It will serve as a one-stop hub for stakeholders (including elected officials, city managers, scientists, recreational boaters, and the general public) to understand the historical, ongoing, and future activities related to sustaining Kalamazoo Lake and the adjoining river system as a viable healthy harbor community.

Site content will evolve over time, but will include a suite of interactive maps, current and historic contaminant testing results, and up-to-date information on issues relevant to stakeholders (i.e., water levels). If you have any content that you would like to see added, please contact us at shuchman@mtu.edu or krbosse@mtu.edu
