8 Lake Ontario L a k e M i c h i g a n Lake Erie

9 Lake Ontario is the most eastern of the Great Lakes. It s main source of water is the Niagara River which comes from Lake Erie. The Great Lakes have a lot of diversity in wildlife, and are home to many types of fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and plant life. The wetlands created by Lake Ontario are a particularly special habitat. Lake Michigan is the only Great Lake that is entirely bordered by the United States. To the east and north are Michigan s upper and lower peninsulas, to the west is Wisconsin, and Illinois and Indiana are to the south. There are lots of National and State parks along the shores of Lake Michigan. It is connected to Lake Huron by the Straits of Mackinac, and you can see both Lakes from the Mackinac Bridge, pictured to the left. Lake Erie is the shallowest of the Great Lakes, with it s average depth at 62ft and deepest part at 210ft. Lake Erie is fed from the Detroit river and it s main outflow is the Niagara River which provides hydroelectric power to both the US and Canada. The Great Lakes often partially freeze in the winter; you can see Lake Erie partially covered in ice in the picture to the left. That s a lot of ice!
