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.

Lake Erie, the fourth largest of the Great Lakes by surface area, is known for its relatively shallow depth, making it the warmest and most biologically productive of the Great Lakes. In contrast, deeper lakes like Lake Superior have colder temperatures and less biological activity, while lakes like Lake Michigan and Lake Huron have varying depths and ecosystems. Additionally, Lake Erie is more prone to algal blooms and pollution due to its surrounding urban areas and agricultural runoff, distinguishing it from many other lakes that may have stricter conservation efforts or less human impact. Overall, the unique characteristics of each lake contribute to their distinct ecological profiles and challenges.
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.
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.
