A man in Empire, Michigan, was sentenced to probation and banned from National Park Service property for five years after diverting a national park river to improve boat access to Lake Michigan. Andrew Howard's actions, which involved digging a new channel to the lake, led to his conviction for misdemeanor tampering and vandalism. Despite claiming others had diverted the river first, Howard's actions were deemed illegal, impacting the natural flow and sediment buildup in the river.
