Lake Erie
Shallowest Great body
Lake Erie is one of the five Great Lakes of North America, bordering the United States and Canada.
It is the fourth largest by surface area but the shallowest and smallest by volume.
The lake connects to Lake Huron via the Detroit River and to Lake Ontario via the Niagara River and Niagara Falls.
We spent summers on Lake Erie.
Erie, Pennsylvania takes its name from the lake.
