One of the islands on Lake Superior, called Isle Royale, has several smaller lakes within it. The Great Lakes contain 35,000 islands. There are 30,000 shipwrecks within the Great Lakes, and over 30,000 sailors have lost their lives in the lakes.It is also the world's largest freshwater lake that is located in one country. Lake Michigan is the only one of the 5 Great Lakes that is located entirely in the United States.Here are some more fascinating Great Lakes facts I found courtesy of We all know that the Great Lakes are huge, but today I learned just how big Lake Superior really is.ĭid you know all FOUR of the other Great Lakes (Lake Michigan, Lake Hurie, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario) PLUS three more lakes the size of Lake Erie could fit INSIDE Lake Superior?!?ĭid you also know that the water in Lake Superior could cover both North and South America in one foot of water if it was spread out? WOW!
