There have been some reports of bull sharks making it as far as lake Michigan but these are believed to be hoaxes. Some sharks like the bull can endure fresh water but not for the long periods needed to make it to Lake Erie and Michigan. As a diver with over 600 hours in all the Great Lakes I have yet to see or hear of any evidence to corroborate any of these stories.

When have bull sharks attacked in Lake Michigan?
NONE, there have been no sharks in any of the great lakes. That's because there has to be a river attached to an ocean, and there are no salt water rivers attached to the great lakes. But Bull sharks have been known to go into fresh water to have their babies so watch out if you are in the Mississippi River because they have been found there, and they are the MOST dangerouse shark in the world!

Have there been any shark attacks in the great lakes I saw a newspaper article about a shark attack that happened in 1955 at a beach in Chicago?
That is simply a rumour. A bull shark may be able to stay in freshwater for long periods of time, but the temperature is way too cold.

They aren't that old. The Great Lakes started to form about 15,000 years ago when the continental glaciers melted.
Are there any sharks in the great lakes?
To the best of my knowledge, there are currently no sharks in the Great Lakes. In theory, some species of sharks, such as the bull shark, could thrive in the Great Lakes, but their introduction is unlikely with the series of locks and dams in place. Bull sharks can make it all the way up to the great lakes but they are only looking for food and there currently is an abundance of Asian carp which should keep them in the rivers. However, the Great Lakes are very cold and it is unlikely that Bull sharks can survive in there for too long, in addition to them not bring truly a freshwater shark species.
When was the great lakes made?
