North Americas five grat lakes-Erie,Huron,Michigan,Ontario and Superior-lie on the Canadian/US border and were carved out of the landscape by grat glaciers during the last ice age,then filled with meltwater as the glaciers retreated.
These interconnected lakes make up the largest body of freshwater on the earth,with a volume of 22812 cu km and a total area of 151681 sq km.with their main outlet to the Atlantic Ocean via the St Lawrence river.

If you are visiting to watch wildlife,explore the landscape or to take in the scenery from the lakes,the scale and beaty of this wild area will leave you breathless.
