Best Answer

Lake Michigan is entirely within the USA. Canada and the USA share the other four Great Lakes (Superior, Huron, Erie and Ontario).

In a hydrological sense, however, Lakes Michigan and Huron are considered to be one body of water. Therefore it is arguable that there are only four great lakes, all of which are shared between the USA and Canada.

On the other hand, Georgian Bay was once known as Lake Manitoulin. It is entirely within Canada and constituted the sixth great lake.

None of the five Great Lakes is entirely within Canada. Canada shares four of the five Great Lakes with the US. Lake Michigan is entirely within the US.
