What is Lake Superior?
[[File:Great Lakes Lake Superior.png|thumb|right|Lake Superior shown in darker blue]] '''Lake Superior''' is a [[lake]] in [[Canada]] and the [[United States]]. The Ojibwe [[Native American]]s call it '''Gitchigume'''. Lake Superior is in between [[Ontario]] and [[Minnesota]] to the north and [[Wisconsin]] and [[Michigan]] in the south, and is the largest of North America's [[Great Lakes]]. It is the world's third largest lake, and the world's largest freshwater lake (by area). Its outlet is the [[St. Marys River]] to [[Lake Huron]]. The Soo Locks allow carrying large amounts of iron ore and other cargo to the other Great Lakes. Over 80 species of [[fish]] live in Lake Superior. {{Greatlakes}} {{Authority control}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Superior, Lake}} [[Category:Great Lakes]] [[Category:Lakes of Canada]] [[Category:Geography of Ontario]] [[Category:Lakes of the United States]] {{US-stub}}{{geo-stub}}
