MAPS Annual Meeting - Saturday, June 27, 2026 • 10 AM - Noon at The Breakers.
NEW -- Second set of water testing results for Mullett Lake (June 2). Great news--all sites are below the EGLE CFU "safe" limit of 300 CFU, and all Mullett Lake sites are down from the first test. The Landings site shows an increase, but remains well below the EGLE limit.
This is the second expanded test since the spring flooding, made possible by MAPS' support for DHD4's Bathing Beach Monitoring Program. More data, better picture. Thank you to District Health Department 4.

MAPS is supporting DHD4 (District Health Department No. 4) on expanded water testing across Mullett Lake and the Indian River—testing for E. coli bacteria levels in the wake of this spring's flooding.
MAPS funding adds five additional representative sites around Mullett, giving us a better picture of where things stand.
Results are expected June 2. We'll post them as soon as we have them.

According to Michigan DNR, "...the Cheboygan Dam and locks in the town of Cheboygan are maintained by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) and influence the water level of Mullett Lake. The Mullett Lake water level is controlled by the Cheboygan Dam (originally built in 1867) and Great Lakes Tissue Hydroelectric facility through by-pass gates. The gates establish a summer (elev. 593.1 feet) and winter (elev. 592.15 feet) targeted lake level. The levels were set by the Cheboygan County Board of Supervisors in 1934, and have been under DNR control since 1967..."
