The Great Lakes, consisting of Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario, span approximately 94,250 square miles (244,000 square kilometers) across the northern United States and southern Canada. They stretch from the northern tip of Lake Superior in Minnesota to the shores of Lake Ontario in New York, covering parts of eight U.S. states and one Canadian province (Ontario). The lakes collectively hold about 20% of the world's unfrozen freshwater.
