Have You Considered?

Lake Huron, the second-largest of the Great Lakes by surface area, is renowned for its crystal-clear waters and rich maritime history. Its depths harbor over 1,000 shipwrecks, making it a paradise for diving enthusiasts and underwater archaeologists. The lake’s water clarity is due to the presence of invasive zebra mussels, which, while problematic for the ecosystem, have resulted in visibility up to 80 feet deep in some areas.

Did You Know?

Lake Michigan, one of the five Great Lakes of North America, is the third-largest by surface area and the only one located entirely within the United States. Its vast expanse covers 22,404 square miles, with a shoreline stretching 1,640 miles across four states: Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana. The lake’s formation dates back to the last Ice Age, resulting in its unique geological features and diverse ecosystem. The lake is home to various fish species, including salmon, trout, and perch, making it a prime spot for sport fishing.
