Lake Ontario
Smallest Great sibling
Lake Ontario is the smallest and easternmost of the five Great Lakes, bordering New York State and the Canadian province of Ontario.
It receives water from Lake Erie via the Niagara River and drains into the St.
Lawrence River.
The lake supports major ports including Toronto and Rochester: We sailed across Lake Ontario in late summer.
