Lake Superior

The largest of the Great Lakes of North America, Lake Superior is also the world's largest freshwater lake by surface area and the third largest by volume. 10% of the freshwater on the planet's surface is contained there. It is bordered by the Canadian province of Ontario to the north, the American states of Minnesota to the northwest, Wisconsin, and Michigan to the south, and the Canadian province of Ontario to the north.

The magnitude of Lake Superior lessens the intensity of its humid continental climate's seasons. Seasonally varying between 32 and 55 °F circa 1970, the water surface's delayed response to temperature fluctuations helps to regulate the surrounding air temperatures in the summer (cooler with regular sea breeze forms) and winter and causes lake-effect snow in colder months. Particularly in the fall, the lake's bordering hills and mountains act as reservoirs for precipitation and fog.

More than 200 rivers and rivulets flow into Lake Superior, which is home to more than 80 different fish species. The Lake Superior Half Circle Tour, which is the same thing but only conducted on the Canadian side, can be used to visit this area. There are lots of parks, trails, and canoeing options along the road throughout the provincial sections of tour.
