The two largest lakes entirely within the US are Lake Michigan (a Great Lake) and the Great Salt Lake of Utah (which is never deeper than 45 feet). They have the largest surface areas.* The other 4 Great Lakes form the border with Canada. The two largest Great Lakes are Lake Superior and Lake Huron. Hydrologically, Lakes Huron and Michigan are one contiguous body of water, which would be the largest Great Lake by far if considered as one lake.* If the lakes are ranked by volume, Lake Tahoe would be the second largest, at 36 cubic miles, due to the shallow depth of the Great Salt Lake (volume 4.5 cubic miles).
