In multiple locations along the shoreline, the dunes rise several hundred feet above the lake surface. Large dune formations can be seen in many state parks, national forests and national parks along the Indiana and Michigan shoreline.

The southern and eastern beaches are typically sandy and dune-covered. This is partly because of the prevailing winds from the west (which also cause thick layers of ice to build on the eastern shore in winter). The Chicago city waterfront has been developed for parks, <a href="/wiki/List_of_beaches_in_Chicago" title="List of beaches in Chicago">beaches</a>, harbors and marinas, and residential developments connected by the <a href="/wiki/Chicago_Lakefront_Trail" title="Chicago Lakefront Trail">Chicago Lakefront Trail</a>. Where there are no beaches or marinas, stone or concrete revetments protect the shoreline from erosion. The Chicago lakefront is accessible for about 24 miles (39 km) between the city's southern and northern limits along the lake. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Cities">Cities</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Lake_Michigan&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Cities"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Lake_Michigan_Watershed.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/af/Lake_Michigan_Watershed.png/220px-Lake_Michigan_Watershed.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="270" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/af/Lake_Michigan_Watershed.png/330px-Lake_Michigan_Watershed.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/af/Lake_Michigan_Watershed.png 2x" data-file-width="355" data-file-height="435" /></a><figcaption>Lake Michigan basin</figcaption></figure> <p>Twelve million people live along Lake Michigan's shores, mainly in the <a href="/wiki/Chicago" title="Chicago">Chicago</a> and <a href="/wiki/Milwaukee" title="Milwaukee">Milwaukee</a> metropolitan areas.

As a result of improvements to the <a href="/wiki/Welland_Canal" title="Welland Canal">Welland Canal</a> in 1918, an invasion of <a href="/wiki/Sea_lamprey" title="Sea lamprey">sea lampreys</a> and <a href="/wiki/Overfishing" title="Overfishing">overharvesting</a>, there has been a decline in native lake trout populations, ultimately causing an increase in the population of another invasive species, the <a href="/wiki/Alewife_(fish)" title="Alewife (fish)">alewife</a>. As a result, salmonids, including various strains of <a href="/wiki/Brown_trout" title="Brown trout">brown trout</a>, steelhead (<a href="/wiki/Rainbow_trout" title="Rainbow trout">rainbow trout</a>), <a href="/wiki/Coho_salmon" title="Coho salmon">coho</a> and <a href="/wiki/Chinook_salmon" title="Chinook salmon">chinook salmon</a>, were introduced as predators in order to decrease the wildlife population. This program was so successful that the introduced population of trout and salmon exploded, resulting in the creation of a large sport fishery for these introduced species. Lake Michigan is now stocked annually with steelhead, brown trout, and coho and chinook salmon, which have also begun natural reproduction in some Lake Michigan tributaries. However, several introduced invasive species, such as lampreys, <a href="/wiki/Round_goby" title="Round goby">round goby</a>, <a href="/wiki/Zebra_mussel" title="Zebra mussel">zebra mussels</a> and <a href="/wiki/Quagga_mussel" title="Quagga mussel">quagga mussels</a>, continue to cause major changes in <a href="/wiki/Water_clarity" title="Water clarity">water clarity</a> and fertility, resulting in knock-on changes to Lake Michigan's ecosystem, threatening the vitality of native fish populations. </p><p>Fisheries in inland waters of the United States are small compared to marine fisheries.
