The Great Lakes

The Great Lakes consist of four of the largest lakes in the US; Lake Superior, Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, and Lake Erie all found within the state of Michigan. They stretch across eight US states and the Canadian province of Ontario, the Great Lakes are huge inland seas that contain 21% of the world’s surface fresh water. The lakes share borders with these seven states; Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York, the fifth Great Lake is Lake Ontario in Canada, which touches New York. This mighty group of lakes was carved out by retreating glaciers over 10,000 years ago and connected to the Atlantic Ocean via the St. Lawrence River. The lakes provide crucial wildlife habitats and boast a scenic backdrop with a wide variety of outdoor activities such as kayaking, diving, boating, fishing, swimming, beaches, and more. The pristine waters and the silence of the forested wilderness lead visitors to some beautiful destinations with exciting activities.
