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.
