[[File:Great Lakes Lake Erie.png|thumb|right|Lake Erie shown in darker blue]] '''Lake Erie''' is one of the [[Great Lakes]] in [[North America]]. It is the second to the last in the Great Lake system before water flows into the St. Lawrence River. Like [[Lake Superior]], [[Lake Huron]], and [[Lake Ontario]], Lake Erie is part of the boundary between the [[United States|USA]] and [[Canada]]. In 1813 a naval battle was fought on the lake. Most of the water that flows into Lake Erie flows through a small [[river]], the [[Detroit River]], that moves water down from Lake St. Clair past [[Detroit, Michigan|Detroit]], [[Michigan]]. Some more water flows into Lake Erie from other rivers, including the Maumee and the Cuyahoga. At the foot of the Maumee is [[Toledo, Ohio|Toledo]], [[Ohio]]. At the bend of the Cuyahoga is [[Cleveland, Ohio|Cleveland]], Ohio. Water that flows out of Lake Erie flows past [[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]], [[New York (state)|New York]], and into the Niagara River. The river pours over [[Niagara Falls]], one of the largest [[waterfall]]s in North America, and then into the lowest of all the Great Lakes, Lake Ontario. {{Ohio}} {{greatlakes}} {{authority control}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Erie, Lake}} [[Category:Great Lakes]] [[Category:Geography of Michigan]] [[Category:Geography of New York (state)]] [[Category:Geography of Ohio]] [[Category:Geography of Pennsylvania]] [[Category:Lakes of Canada]] [[Category:Geography of Ontario]] [[Category:Lakes of the United States]]
