Can you get from Lake Michigan to Lake Ontario by boat?
The simple answer is no. Both lakes are too rough for a house boat. House boats are designed for calm inland waters and do not fair well in large waves. The great lakes are more like inland seas than lakes, lake Michigan has 3' - 6' waves on a regular basis and in storm conditions waves can exceed 10'

Is Lake Ontario bigger than Lake Huron?
Lake Superior is much larger, the largest lake in North America, the second largest lake in the world by area, and the third largest lake not directly connected to a saltwater ocean.
Lake Pontchartrain is comparatively large, but brackish, and is very shallow as lakes go (deepest point less than 60 feet).
What is the length of Lake Ontario?
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.

Is Lake Ontario connected to the ocean?
In most cases, eventually. The oceans are the lowest regions of the surface of our planet and collect all the worldwide rainfall, as part of the Earth's hydrologic or water cycle.
In some parts of the world, rivers may empty into a lake within the continent. For example, in Australia, numerous rivers eventually empty into lake Eyre, a large salt sink with an elevation of fifteen metres below sea level.
