In 1873, an effort was made to connect Crystal Lake with Lake Michigan via a channel. The lake level of Crystal Lake was higher than that of Lake Michigan and when the channel was opened, the water level in Crystal Lake dropped about. Although the project was a failure, the lowering of the lake level uncovered sandy beaches, including the current public beach at Beulah.
