ake Superior has always held a fascination for me, perhaps because it’s the largest of the Great Lakes and the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area (31,700 square miles). An enormous glacially carved basin on the US– Canadian border, Lake Superior is 350 miles at its longest point and 160 miles at its widest. Or maybe I was intrigued simply because it was among only five bodies of water in North America labeled “Great.” If it’s so great, I figured it must be worth a visit. }}}
