Michigan public trust framing: the bed of Grand River and Lake Michigan harbor below the ordinary high-water mark is state-owned bottomland held in public trust, where removing historic artifacts is restricted and state law protects archaeological sites and abandoned property in state waters. The townsite banks and uplands above the high-water mark are usually private and require the landowner's permission.
