How big is Ontario?

Answer 1

Lake Ontario is the smallest and easternmost of the Great Lakes, covering only 19,099 km2, but is still nearly 30 times the area of L. Biwa. The Lake forms part of the international boundary between Canada and the United States; the whole northern shore belongs to the Canadian Province of Ontario and its southern shore is in the State of New York. Water flows into the lake from L. Erie through the Niagara River with the famous Niagara falls, and flows out at the northeast end into the St. Lawrence River. There are no large islands in the lake, apart from the far east corner at the entrance to the St. Lawrence River. The most densely populated and industrialized area of Ontario Province is located on the west side of the lake, but there are only a few cities of significant size on the American side.
