The Great Lake Superior

By Linda Tancs

The largest of North America’s Great Lakes, Lake Superior holds almost three cubic miles of water, more than the four other lakes combined.  That’s three quadrillion gallons of water, in case you’re counting.  The largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area, it’s bounded by Ontario, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.   With tens of thousands of square miles to cover, just start somewhere.  How about Minnesota’s North Shore?  The 154-mile All American Road combines the best of old and new Highway 61, including several state parks and at least 101 things to do.
