Lake Superior is the world's largest body of fresh water and has more water than all other significant lakes combined. Shared between Canada and the United States, it has an average depth between 146 and 406 meters. It represents 10 percent of the planet's freshwater reserve. This lake enclosed in the mountains is also called Kitchi-Gummi in Anishinaabemowin (which means great water), but the French call it the upper lake. It is very touristy and attractive, so it offers the possibility to rent studios with a view of the lake and stay in a private club with swimming pools and secluded beaches. It is possible to rent high-end chalets (such as tremblant mountain chalets) for a more rustic stay. It is also possible to eat on the shores of the lake, especially in the sublime restaurant called le rustique, offering local cuisine. Lake Huron is formed by four bodies of water (Main Lake, Saginaw Bay, North Channel, and Georgian Bay). It separates Michigan, from Ontario in Canada, is located at 176 meters above sea level, with an average depth of 230 meters. At its center is Manitou, the largest island in the middle of a lake in the world. Finally, on its banks is Algonquin Provincial Park. The 15-kilometer hiking trail in Misery Bay Park can visit the lake. It also offers the opportunity to stroll along beaches such as Wasaga Beach or the intimate Sauble Beach. For the more adventurous, it is possible to practice a water sport such as inflatable canoeing, recreational kayaking, kite buggy, or freediving. You can also enjoy watching fish or swimming in the waterfalls framed by Sauble Falls Park. Great Bear Lake is the largest lake located entirely in Canada. It has five distinct branches (Dease, McTavish, McVicar, Keith, and Smith). It is connected to the Arctic Ocean by the Bear River. It reaches 413 meters deep and has several small islands in its center. You can visit this lake through the Route de la Tuque à Québec, a 4.2-kilometer round-trip trail where hikers and runners are frequently found. The area also allows flying fishing for fish such as migratory char. However, this practice must be supervised by fishing clubs and a federation. Great Slave Lake is the second-largest lake located entirely in Canada. It is located south of Bear Lake in northwestern Canada. It is the deepest lake in North America. It includes 2 arms: north and east. Its name slave comes from Slavey, a term used to refer to several indigenous peoples of the region, originally living on the shores of the lake. Regarding its attractiveness, the latter is a popular fishing site, both in summer and winter (including ice fishing from November to May, then, the lake is partially frozen at this time). In addition, it is possible to visit the Nahanni National Park Reserve around the lake. Lake Erie is the shallowest of the great lakes; it was declared dead during the 70s due to its massive amount of nitrogen and phosphorus. Because of these components, phytoplankton has developed massively (algae). These hinder the infiltration of the sun's rays, thus reducing the fauna and flora in the lake water. Nevertheless, its entrance is free, and there is nearby the African safari animal park and the house of Christmas history. ◄
