Do you mean the Great Lakes or the Great Salt Lake?
Small groups of Latter-day Saints were sent to settle in areas around the Great Lakes in the Kirtland and Nauvoo periods by Joseph Smith, Jr. Kirtland itself is just a few miles from Lake Erie. Several other settlements were made between the Mississippi River and Lake Michigan in Illinois and Wisconsin.
After the murder of Joseph Smith, most of the Saints followed Brigham Young to the Great Salt Lake. Most of those who stayed behind formed their own churches, which include the Community of Christ, the Strangites, the Temple Lot Church of Christ, and others.
