The Great Lakes
The Great Lakes Of North America are a chain of freshwater lakes located on the Canada-United States border. Consisting of Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario, they form the largest group of freshwater lakes on Earth. They are sometimes referred to as inland seas or the Third Coast of Canada and the United States. The two countries are bounded by these lakes and the division goes directly between both countries down the middle of the lakes. Lake Michigan is the only lake that is in the U.S.A. only and it surrounds the top of the State of Michigan. There are border crossings where the lakes join each other. Between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario is where the Welland Canal was built to enable large ships to get around Niagara Falls. Once you come east to the end of Lake Ontario you enter the St. Lawrence River and this will take you to The Atlantic Ocean. Because of this Ocean Freighters are able to enter and travel up The Great Lakes with various cargoes. I live on Lake Erie and it is truly a unique area.
