Is Lake Superior better than the other Great Lakes?

1. Yes.

That's why it's superior.

2. Huron to something.

3. In the immortal words of Gordon Lightfoot

Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
In the rooms of her ice-water mansion
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams
The islands and bays are for sportsmen
And farther below Lake Ontario
Takes in what Lake Erie can send her
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know

5. I'm pretty sure it's one of the greater lakes

6. In spite of the name, no, lol. I grew up on Lake Michigan and I love to swim.

I stuck my big toe in Lake Superior one summer, and it was so cold that an electric shock went right up my leg, through my torso, and into my armpit. Yikes! Plus, a lot of the shoreline is rocky. It is impressive, though.

7. Eerie would be better if it didn't touch Ohio. (Old Michigan joke)

8. The only Great Lake I've actually visited and swam in was Lake Michigan.

It was delightful. What I love about the Great Lakes is that they seem oceanic, but are fresh water.

9. Nope, I live a couple of minutes from

Lake Michigan and it's the greatest of the Great Lakes 😊

12. Yeah me too...

Though I liked it better when it was sand bottom. The city put in stone to stop erosion I guess.

10. All the Great Lakes are Special - But, Lake Superior is truly an inland sea (larger in size than Maine).

We went swimming in it today. Might go again tomorrow if the smoke situation is decent (air quality has been extremely difficult all summer long).

11. Great Lakes?

Or Greatest Lakes?

13. I did find this online to support the "Superior" claim:

Lake Superior is the largest, coldest, and deepest (the average depth is 482 feet) of the five Great Lakes.
