Lake Michigan:
More than 150 years after it sank in a powerful storm, the remains of the luxury steamer Lac La Belle have finally been found at the bottom of Lake Michigan.
- It is the third largest of the five Great Lakes of North America and the only one lying wholly within the United States.
- It is the fourth largest freshwater lake and the fifth largest lake in the world, ranked by surface area.
- It is connected directly to Lake Huron, into which it drains, through the broad Straits of Mackinac.
- Water flows into Lake Michigan from several rivers, including the Fox-Wolf, the Grand, the St. Joseph, and the Kalamazoo rivers, among others.
