If all the Great Lakes dried up, the climate would be such that North America would be an extremely arid desert from central Canada to the southern tip of Texas and from Boston to LA. Keep in mind that the Great Lakes is fully 25% of the fresh water supply of the Earth. It feeds and is fed by roughly 75% of the river systems in North America.

In short, by the time the Great Lakes dried up, most if not all the animal life, including humans, would be dead.

Seeing as the Great Lakes are all inter-connected (except Superior), for one to dry up, all the others would also have to. This is NOT expected to happen ANY time in the forseeable future. Water levels WILL drop dramatically, but they WILL NOT dry up.
