The Great Lakes are part of the St. Lawrence water system. It is not part of the Great Continental Divide.

They aren't that old. The Great Lakes started to form about 15,000 years ago when the continental glaciers melted.

The Great Lakes were formed by the retreat of glaciers at the end of the last ice age, approximately 10,000 years ago.

The RockiesMore specifically, the Western Continental Divide or the "Great Divide", the 'line' which marks where rainfall flows either ultimately toward the Pacific Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico, runs through the states of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico, predominately in the Rocky Mountains. There is also an Eastern Continental Divide among others - see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NorthAmericaDivides.gifThe Rocky Mountains.
