LAKE SUPERIOR

When talking about the largest lakes in the US, Lake Superior always comes on top! One of the Great Lakes, its surface area makes it not only the biggest lake in the US but the largest freshwater lake in the world.


Lake Huron is one of the largest lakes in the US as well as one of the most unique lakes.
LAKE HURON
Among all the Great Lakes, it has the longest shoreline reaching over 6,100 kilometers or 3,790 miles. Since it has over 30,000 islands (the lake with the most islands in the world) it’s a great place if you’re looking for adventure or simply want to be closer to nature!

LAKE MICHIGAN

With its fresh breeze and stunning blue waves, this lake totally gives off the oceanic feel you’re craving for! The southern shore of this large lake is dotted with vibrant cities but much of it is wild and forested. Like Lake Huron, it also serves as a habitat for endangered animals and plants.



LAKE ERIE
The lake’s sandy shores also play a vital role. Each year, they serve as grounds for stopovers for thousands of migrating butterflies and birds making it a natural spectacle like no other.

LAKE ONTARIO

Albeit the smallest of the five, all the waters within the Great Lakes flow through Lake Ontario. Leading out to the Atlantic Ocean makes it even more crucial for water exchange, transportation, and fish migration. It’s home to a huge variety of wildlife (over a thousand species of animals and plants) and provides drinking water to over 9 million people living in the surroundingarea.

GREAT SALT LAKE

The Great Salt Lake is nearly 8 times saltier than the ocean and is the most ideal place for harvesting salt. It’s also a site for field research by scientists and educators alike. Although swimming is not recommended due to its salinity, you can still go boating to enjoy the scenery and its rich marine life.
LAKE OF THE WOODS
With its pristine waters that are so clear, you can see 25 feet or 7.5 meters below, the Lake of the Woods will undeniably take your breath away. On top of the remarkable scenery beneath the waters, it even has underwater caves, crevices, and rock formations. Whether you go on a dive, go camping, or snorkeling, this awe-inspiring lake will leave you with a ton of unforgettable memories!
