The lake that connects Lake Erie and Lake Huron, besides the Detroit River and Lake St. Clair, is Lake Huron itself. Specifically, water flows from Lake Erie into the Detroit River, which then leads to Lake St. Clair and subsequently into the Saint Clair River. The Saint Clair River ultimately connects to Lake Huron, facilitating the movement between these two Great Lakes.
There are actually three bodies of water between Lake Huron and Lake Erie: the St. Clair River, Lake St. Clair, and the Detroit River.
The canal that connects Lake Erie and Lake Huron is called Detroit River (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit,_Michigan) Check at the history part. According http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761566554/Lake_Erie.html it seems that the canal who connects Lake Huron and Lake Erie is called Saint Clair River but there's another channel called Saint Clair River that connects Lake Huron and a greater lake in the north. Hope you are happy with your answer;) /R.A
Detroit It is true that Detroit is "by" the Great lakes if one means not "on" the Great lakes. Detroit is "on" the Detroit River, which along with Lake St.Clair, and the St. Clair River, connects Lake Huron, and Lake Erie, both which are Great Lakes. Interestingly, some are requesting that Lake St. Clair be designated as a Great Lake, which would be a political and definitional addition to the existing 5 Great Lakes. Other Michigan Cities "on" the Great Lakes are Port Huron which is where the St. Clair River connects with Lake Huron. Muskegan is on Lake Michigan. Marquette is on Lake Superior. Menominee is on Lake Michigan. Saginaw and Bay city are port Cities on Lake Huron. The lists go on. But Detroit is not "on" any of the Great Lakes.
The most upstream link between Lake Huron and Lake Erie is the St. Clair River. This river flows from Lake Huron into Lake St. Clair, which then connects to the Detroit River, ultimately leading to Lake Erie. The St. Clair River serves as a crucial waterway for the movement of water and aquatic life between these two Great Lakes.
The St. Clair River connects Lake Huron to Lake St. Clair. It flows southward from Lake Huron, forming part of the boundary between the United States and Canada. The river plays a crucial role in the Great Lakes water system.
The lake between lake Huron & Erie is Lake St Clair, not Lake Michigan. Lake St. Clair is located about 6 miles NE of Detroit between the St. Clair River and Lake Erie.
The bridge that separates Lake Huron and Lake Erie is the St. Clair River, which flows into Lake St. Clair and subsequently connects to Lake Erie. However, there is no single bridge that spans this entire waterway; rather, several bridges cross the St. Clair River, with the most notable being the Blue Water Bridge, which connects Port Huron, Michigan, to Sarnia, Ontario.
Detroit is bordered by several lakes, most notably the Detroit River, which connects Lake Huron to Lake Erie. To the east, Lake St. Clair serves as a significant waterway and recreational area. While there are no large lakes directly within the city limits, these bodies of water play a crucial role in the region's geography and ecology.
The Detroit river
The address of the Saint Clair County Library is: 210 Mcmorran Boulevard, Port Huron, 48060 4014
It will take about 1 1/2 hours from Detroit to Port Huron, depending on traffic in Detroit.
Detroit isn't on a "coast"; it's on the shore of the Detroit River and the "sixth great lake", Lake St. Clair. (Lake St. Clair lies along the chain of lakes and rivers that connect Lake Superior to the Atlantic Ocean; it's smaller than the "main five" great lakes of Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario, but is nonetheless a respectable body of water in its own right.)
