The Finger Lakes consist of 11 lakes. The lake names are listed from East to West. Otisco Skaneateles Owasco Cayuga Seneca Keuka Canandaigua Honeoye Canadice Hemlock Conesus Each lake varies in depth, length and overall size.
The name given to the group of five large lakes in the United States is the Great Lakes. These lakes are Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario. They are located in the northeastern part of North America, along the Canada-United States border.
Not just one state has the five Great Lakes. In fact, the five great lakes aren't all in just the United States. Both Canada and the USA have some of the five great lakes. The border crosses right in the middle of each of the lakes, so Canada and the USA both have parts of each of the lakes.

The retention time for each of the Great Lakes is different, and Lake Superior has the longest retention time of all the Great Lakes. When a drop of rainwater lands in Lake Superior, it takes over 200 years for it to pass through the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. Once it leaves the Great Lakes system, it has to travel though the St. Lawrence River on its way to the ocean.

If one were to judge based on the easternmost points of each lake, however, then Lakes Michigan and Superior would switch.
To navigate the various lakes, a system of locks was created to help raise and lower vessels throughout the Great Lakes. There are six major locations containing various numbers of individual locks at each location.
