Lake Superior

"Gitchi Gumi"

Lake Superior is the largest body of fresh water in the world and the deepest of the five Great Lakes.
It has a surface of 31,800 square miles, a length of 350 miles, and a width of 160 miles. It drains into Lake Huron, to the southeast, through the St Marys River.
Many shipwrecks in Lake Superior are now protected in bottomland preserves and accessible to recreational divers. 
The land near the lake, especially to the south and west, is rich in minerals, principally iron ore (hematite and taconite), and copper, nickel, and silver ores. These minerals, plus grain produced in the Prairie Provinces of Canada and forest products, are shipped east via Lake Superior and the rest of the Great Lakes-St Lawrence Seaway.
