From Times Wire Reports

People can stroll along Michigan’s 3,200 miles of Great Lakes beaches whether lakefront property owners like it or not, the state Supreme Court has ruled.

The court sided with Joan M. Glass, who sued her neighbors over access to the Lake Huron waterfront.

The neighbors said she was trespassing.

The court ruled that the public could wander anywhere between the water’s edge and the ordinary high-water mark.
