[3] [4] [22] Because of the hydrologic connectivity through the Straits, some sources consider the total area and volume of Lake Michigan–Huron when placing this system in a global or regional context. [23] When Lake Michigan–Huron is treated as a single entity, it is the largest freshwater lake by surface area in the world. [1] [23] [24] [25]

This was due to isostatic rebound of the northern shorelines combined with the opening of the North Bay outlet of the Lake Huron basin. [1]
The water level of Lake Michigan–Huron had remained fairly constant over the 20th century. [36] Recent lake levels include record low levels in 2013 in Lakes Superior, Erie, and Michigan-Huron, [37] followed by record high levels in 2020 [38] in the same lakes. The water level in Lake Ontario has remained relatively constant in the same time ...

"Despite more recent sampling using appropriate gear at suitable locations and depths, (the Shortnose Cisco) was last recorded in Lake Ontario in 1964, Lake Michigan in 1982, and Lake Huron in ...
It covered the western half of the Erie basin and north over southwest Ontario to the tip of Lake Huron. [1] Lake Arkona; 13,600 – 13,200 YBP [7] in Ohio, Ontario, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
