Lake Erie: Ohio's Great Lake

WGTE Preview: Lake Erie is the smallest, shallowest, and warmest of the five Great Lakes , with shores that connect four states and two countries. The Ohio lakeshore is dotted with dozens of cities and towns. From resort communities to working harbors, many built by the industry and agriculture that was nurtured by Lake Erie . The impact Lake Erie has had on American history is tremendous. The lake was a beacon of freedom and opportunity for those fleeing the bonds of slavery and the hundreds of thousands of immigrants seeking a new life. Lake Erie was an invaluable natural resource that sparked the nation's industrial development, acting as a liquid highway for transporting goods and materials to the world. It is the perfect vacation destination and quite simply a great place to live. More Info: wgte.org 419.380.4600

Sad. That some folks have zero knowledge of the 'lower' Great lake: Ontario.

Deeper and has larger cubic volume than Lake Erie, yet, it's surface area is indeed smaller.

Lake Erie is Ohio's Great lake, but whomever produced this video, just needs to do some Wikipedia or ... check an AMERICAN almanac. The info is right there.

Glad to have you on-board, my fellow Great Lakers.

Your lovely lake (and I love it too) flows into the one I live next to.

The video is nice because of the HD quality. It would nicer if the video about 10 minutes longer.

Haha, finally! That's why they're Michigan's Great Lakes and not Ohio's or PA's. Don't care if you live along them, they're ours. Ahaha

[PsYkoticCheErio]

No, you're all wrong. It's Michigan's Great Lake. All of the Great lakes are OURS.
