Lake Superior

Lake Superior is the world's second largest lake, and the world's largest freshwater lake.  Lake Superior has a surface area of over 31,000 square miles and a maximum depth of 1,335 feet.  This Great Lake stretches approximately 350 miles from west to east, and 160 miles north to south, with a shoreline almost 2,800 miles long.   Lake Superior holds about 3,000 cubic miles of water - enough to fill all the other Great Lakes plus Lake Erie three times over. Lake Superior is also the coldest of the Great Lakes at an average temperature of 40° F (4°C). The water temperature sets the climate for the area, making winters warmer and summers cooler.

Lake Superior is known as a great Salmon and Trout fishery.  Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon and Pink Salmon are all abundant in Lake Superior.  Trout fishing on Lake Superior is also strong for Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Steelhead Trout and Lake Trout.
