According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, Lake Superior is the largest of the Great Lakes of North America. The lake is also one of the worlds largest bodies of fresh water. This very cold lake is 350 miles long (east to west) and 160 miles wide at it's greatest width (north to south). This massive lake has beautiful scenery around every bend, deep bays, high cliffs, forrested lands, and lots of water.
The Great Lakes (Erie, Huron, Michigan, Ontario, Superior) provide a rich history of Native Americans and early settlers, mining operations, iron ore, copper, lighthouses, and shipwrecks. If you are interested in shipwrecks, the Great Lakes are a great place to visit . Many ships have never been found, so the exact number of shipwrecks of the Great Lakes is unknown. The Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum approximates "6,000 ships and 30,000 lives lost,"[1] while historian and mariner Mark Thompson has estimated that the total number of wrecks is likely more than 25,000.[2] The Great Lakes have a rich history of ship wrecks and information is readily available on the internet.
Whether you are hunting for ship wrecks or looking for rugged beauty, Lake Superior is a wonderful lake to visit. CHECK OUT/PURCHASE OUR PHOTOGRAPHERS PHOTOS by clicking on Lake Superior and the Great Lakes.
