I'd argue Lake Michigan is safer than any ocean; no sharks, brain eating amoebas or any other scary shit lurking about but it's a lake...so people are more apt to go camping and pound a 12-pack. I speak from experience,,,I've puked at many a lake in New York.
Perhaps not right in Chicago but lakes tend to be seldom patrolled by rangers, police or whoever where as every beach I've been to (California, Florida, Hawai'i and here in shitty ole Galveston, they are crawling with them.
