Joe, As I understand it, not really.  The water levels were really low in 2013 and there was a lot of discussion about how to restrict the flows.  There was discussion of placing restrictive boulders in the St. Clair river to try to control the outflow from Lakes Superior/Michigan/Huron.

This is maybe a really dumb question – is there a way to drain them? Does anything control the amount of water that heads out to sea down the St. Lawrence Seaway, Erie Canal, and so on? Joe Coquina ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with

The high water levels in the Great Lakes are being caused by intense low temperatures which freeze the surface and stop evaporation.  It is the same function as pool covers here in Florida.  Interestingly,  evaporation on the lakes is highest when the humidity is low. So if you folks get
