A Desired Adventure

I have been to places like the Grand Canyon and the Painted Desert, but one place in the United States that I have never been to and would like to go to are the Great Lakes. I have been to many places in the southwestern part of the country, but i have never been to the northwest. The Great Lakes together cover an area of 244,000 km2, and they carry roughly half of the world's water supply. Only the polar ice caps contain more fresh water. I think it would be incredible to see bodies of water this immense, and aside from the ocean, I never have seen such enormous bodies of water. The Great Lakes are together made up of five lakes: Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Superior, and Lake Ontario. Lake Superior is the largest lake, and covers about 355 miles (length) and 160 miles (width). Lake Michigan is the second largest lake, and is the only lake that is entirely in the United States. It covers 320 miles (length) and 70 miles (width). Lake Huron is the third largest lake by volume, and covers a stretch of about 190 miles (width) and 20 miles (length). Lake Erie is the second smallest lake, and is the most southern lake. It is the most extensively farmed of all the lakes. Lake Ontario is the smallest and most southern lake, and it lies between New York and Canada. It's name means beautiful in the Indian language. I would like to visit the Great Lakes someday, and see for myself what they each look like.  Hopefully one day I will be able to go and see each lake.
