Lake Superior stands alone.
The surface of this magnificent lake is the largest freshwater body in the world. It is third largest by volume. A drop of water entering the lake at Duluth will take 173 years to reach Sault Ste. That means water that left the Duluth-Superior Harbor in 1827 is just now leaving the lake. It is a stunning 1,332 feet deep and the shoreline and islands that rim the lake stretch 2,726 miles.
