The water levels on Houghton Lake and Higgins Lake were established in 1982 and for Lake St. Helen in 1998 by Court Order and are described as feet above sea level. Those levels are converted into a datum measurement, and they are reported by the USGS on their website as a datum measurement.

More recent studies by Michigan State University have quantified elevated concentrations of phosphorus (TP and SRP) in groundwater along much of the nearshore region around Higgins Lake, and has coupled these concentrations with quantified rates of groundwater flow from upland areas toward the lake (Martin 2014, 2019).
