Profile of the Great Lakes

From left to right, Lake Superior, the deepest, Lake Michigan and Lake Huron at the same sea level and considered one lake, shallow Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario.  This illustration shows how the Great Lakes are one flowing river of seas that follow gravity down then flow through the St. Lawrence River and empty into the Atlantic Ocean.

Read more about this system of lakes in my critically acclaimed book, The Dynamic Great Lakes widely available on the www and in independent bookstores.

Nipigon Bay on Lake Superior, Ontario Canada

Nipigon Bay on Lake Superior is fed by many small gurgling tributary streams from the north that flow into Lake Nipigon and then for 90 miles through the Nipigon River. This is the northernmost point of Lake Superior.

This is the high north; the habitat lake trout and brook trout.  Sometimes a caribou is seen.

The scenery is beautiful but sadly, both Thunder Bay and Nipigon Bay have been designated  as Areas of Concern due to pollution. The government of Canada is working to remedy the degradation.
