== Flooding in the Huron River Basin ==

When early spring melts, heavy rains, or other unusual weather occurs, portions of the Huron River basin are subject to flooding.

In the [[Hamburg Township]] area, flooding on [[Ore Lake]] and [[Little Ore Lake]] happened in June 2004; again in September 2008 after Hurricane Ike; and again in March 2009 after an early thaw.

After Hurricane Ike in 2008, [[Millers Creek]] contributed to water on [[Geddes Road]] near the [[Huron River]].

[[Fleming Creek]] spreads out into its floodplain in [[Parker Mill County Park]] annually; a boardwalk there makes for easy viewing of that area.

[[Riverside Park]] in Ypsilanti will be submerged if the water is high enough.

The [[June 21, 1968 flood]] wiped out the [[Dixboro Dam]], and caused damage to the [[Argo Dam]] and the [[Superior Dam]].

A [[1904 flood]] caused damage in [[Ypsilanti]].
