    Akshually, Michigan-Huron is a single lake, hydrologically speaking of course, which has 1.5 times the surface area of Lake Superior.

    But Superior still manages to contain 1.5 times the water volume in just 66% of the surface area, comprising 10% of the surface fresh water on planet earth. That’s one deep boi. Aptly named I must say

        Indeed, hence why I specified hydrologically. Geographically and politically, they are two separate lakes.

        Canada couldn’t handle Lake Michigan anyway, it’s too warm for them

          Wait? Are there really warm lakes? I live way North of the great lakes and have never experienced such sorcery that wasn’t attached to a spring.

            Oh yeah, big time. I don’t think any of the great lakes would actually fit that description though. The problem with warm lakes is that there’s usually a lot more biological activity going on, so the water tends to be much less clear.

            I’d prefer to swim in a cold, clear lake instead of a warm, murky lake any day of the week. That’s how you get infected by one of these bad boys.

            I actually have been in Lake Erie. The great lakes are not solely the domain of the Midwest and Canada. But you do have a point
