lake Huron

By surface area, Lake Huron is the second-largest of the Great Lakes, with a surface area of {{convert|23007|mi2}}—of which {{convert|9103|mi2}} lies in Michigan and {{convert|13904|mi2}} lies in Ontario—making it the third-largest fresh water lake on Earth (or the fourth-largest lake, if the Caspian Sea is counted as a lake).{{cite web |url = http://www.epa.gov/greatlakes/atlas/gl-fact1.html |title = Great Lakes Factsheet No. 1 |access-date = March 6, 2014 |date = June 25, 2012 |publisher = U.S. Environmental Protection Agency }} By volume however, Lake Huron is only the third largest of the Great Lakes, being surpassed by Lake Michigan and Lake Superior.{{cite book |first = Peter |last = Annin |title = The Great Lakes Water Wars |url = https://books.google.com/books?id=VzMeZHaLP_gC&pg=PA15 |year = 2006 |publisher = Island Press |isbn = 978-1-55963-087-0 |page = 15 }} When measured at the low water datum, the lake contains a volume of {{convert|850|mi3}} and a shoreline length (including islands) of {{convert|3827|mi|km|abbr=on}}.

The surface of Lake Huron is {{convert|577|ft|m}} above sea level. The lake's average depth is 32 fathoms 3 feet ({{convert|195|ft|ft m|disp=out|0}}), while the maximum recorded (by sonar) depth is {{convert|125|fathom|ft m}}. It has a length of {{convert|206|smi|km nmi|lk=on}} and a greatest breadth of {{convert|183|smi|km nmi}}. A large bay that protrudes northeast from Lake Huron into Ontario, Canada, is called Georgian Bay. A notable feature of the lake is Manitoulin Island, which separates the North Channel and Georgian Bay from Lake Huron's main body of water. It is the world's largest lake island.{{cite web |url = http://www.cbc.ca/sevenwonders/wonder_manitoulin_island.html |website = CBC.ca |title = Seven Wonders of Canada-Manitoulin Island, Ontario |access-date = October 8, 2016 }} A smaller bay that protrudes southwest from Lake Huron into Michigan is called Saginaw Bay.

Cities with over 10,000 people on Lake Huron include Sarnia, the largest city on Lake Huron, and Saugeen Shores in Canada and Bay City, Port Huron, and Alpena in the United States. Major centres on Georgian Bay include Owen Sound, Wasaga Beach, Collingwood, Midland, Penetanguishene, Port Severn and Parry Sound.

Historic high water

The lake fluctuates from month to month with the highest lake levels in October and November. The normal high-water mark is {{convert|2.00|ft|m}} above datum (577.5 ft or 176.0 m). In the summer of 1986, Lakes Michigan and Huron reached their highest level at {{convert|5.92|ft|m}} above datum.{{cite book |title = Monthly bulletin of Lake Levels for The Great Lakes |date = September 2009 |publisher = U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Detroit District }} The high-water records were broken for several months in a row in 2020.{{Cite web |date = February 3, 2021 |title = Great Lakes Water Level Data |url = https://www.lre.usace.army.mil/Missions/Great-Lakes-Information/Great-Lakes-Information-2/Water-Level-Data/ |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190401200936/https://www.lre.usace.army.mil/Missions/Great-Lakes-Information/Great-Lakes-Information-2/Water-Level-Data/ |url-status = dead |archive-date = April 1, 2019 |access-date = February 9, 2021 }}

Historic low water

Lake levels tend to be the lowest in winter. The normal low-water mark is {{convert|1.00|ft|cm}} below datum (577.5 ft or 176.0 m). In the winter of 1964, Lakes Michigan and Huron reached their lowest level at {{convert|1.38|ft|cm}} below datum. As with the high-water records, monthly low-water records were set each month from February 1964 through January 1965. During this twelve-month period, water levels ranged from {{convert|1.38|to(-)|0.71|ft|cm}} below Chart Datum. The all-time low-water mark was eclipsed in January 2013.{{Cite web |date = February 3, 2021 |title = Great Lakes Water Level Data |url = https://www.lre.usace.army.mil/Missions/Great-Lakes-Information/Great-Lakes-Information-2/Water-Level-Data/ |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190401200936/https://www.lre.usace.army.mil/Missions/Great-Lakes-Information/Great-Lakes-Information-2/Water-Level-Data/ |url-status = dead |archive-date = April 1, 2019 |access-date = February 9, 2021 }}

Lake Huron has the largest shore line length of any of the Great Lakes, counting its 30,000 islands.{{cite web |url = http://www.michigan.gov/deq/0,1607,7-135-3313_3677-15926--,00.html |title = Great Lakes Map |publisher = Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment |access-date = February 19, 2011 }} It is separated from Lake Michigan, which lies at the same level, by the {{Convert|5|mi|4=-wide|adj=mid}}, {{Convert|20|fathom|4=-deep|adj=mid}} Straits of Mackinac, making them hydrologically the same body of water (sometimes called Lake Michigan-Huron and sometimes described as two 'lobes of the same lake'). Aggregated, Lake Huron-Michigan, at {{convert|45300|sqmi|km2}}, "is technically the world's largest freshwater lake". Lake Superior, at 21 feet higher elevation, drains into the St. Marys River which then flows into Lake Huron. The water then flows south to the St. Clair River, at Port Huron, Michigan and Sarnia, Ontario. The Great Lakes Waterway continues thence to Lake St. Clair; the Detroit River and Detroit, Michigan; into Lake Erie and thence – via Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River – to the Atlantic Ocean.

Like the other Great Lakes, it was formed by melting ice as the continental glaciers retreated toward the end of the last ice age. Before this, Lake Huron was a low-lying depression through which flowed the now-buried Laurentian and Huronian Rivers; the lake bed was criss-crossed by a large network of tributaries to these ancient waterways, with many of the old channels still evident on bathymetric maps.

The Alpena-Amberley Ridge is an ancient ridge beneath the surface of Lake Huron, running from Alpena, Michigan, southwest to Point Clark, Ontario.{{cite web |last = Weber |first = Bob |title = Prehistoric Stone Walls Found Under Lake Huron |work = CTV News |date = April 29, 2014 |url = http://london.ctvnews.ca/prehistoric-stone-walls-found-under-lake-huron-1.1797631 |agency = Canadian Press |access-date = October 8, 2016 }}

About 9,000 years ago, when water levels in Lake Huron were approximately {{convert|100|m|ft|abbr=on}} below today's levels, the Alpena-Amberley Ridge was exposed. That land bridge was used as a migration route for large herds of caribou. Since 2008, archaeologists have discovered at least 60 stone constructions along the submerged ridge that are thought to have been used as hunting blinds by Paleo-Indians. That a trade network brought obsidian from Oregon almost ten thousand years ago to be used for toolmaking was confirmed by a 2013 underwater discovery along the ridge.{{cite news |last1 = Aaron |first1 = Martin |title = At the Bottom of Lake Huron, an Ancient Mystery Materializes |url = https://www.scientificamerican.com/video/at-the-bottom-of-lake-huron-an-ancient-mystery-materializes/ |access-date = June 3, 2021 |work = Scientific American |publisher = Springer Nature America |date = June 1, 2021 }}

On the eve of European contact, the extent of development among Eastern Woodlands Native American societies is indicated by the archaeological evidence of a town on or near Lake Huron that contained more than one hundred large structures housing a total population of between 4,000 and 6,000.{{cite book |last1 = Nash |first1 = Gary B. |title = Red, White and Black: The Peoples of Early North America |location = Los Angeles |year = 2015 |chapter = Chapter 1 |page = 8 }} The French, the first European visitors to the region, often referred to Lake Huron as La Mer Douce, "the fresh-water sea". In 1656, a map by French cartographer Nicolas Sanson refers to the lake by the name {{lang|wyn|Karegnondi}}, a Wyandot word that has been translated variously, as "Freshwater Sea", "Lake of the Hurons", or simply "lake".{{cite book |url = https://books.google.com/books?id=U_14tuSMUBcC&pg=PA221 |title = Huron-Wendat: The Heritage of the Circle |last = Sioui |first = Georges E. |translator-first = Jane |translator-last = Brierley |translator-link = Jane Brierley |publisher = UBC Press |isbn = 9780774807159 |year = 1999 }}{{cite news |last = Fonger |first = Ron |title = Genesee, Oakland counties adopt historic name for water group |url = http://blog.mlive.com/flintjournal/newsnow/2007/05/genesee_oakland_counties_adopt.html |access-date = December 6, 2011 |newspaper = The Flint Journal |date = May 3, 2007 }} Generally, the lake was labeled "Lac des Hurons" (Lake of the Huron) on most early European maps.

Purportedly the first European vessel to sail the Great Lakes, Le Griffon also became the first ship lost on the Great Lakes. It was built in 1679 on the eastern shore of Lake Erie near Buffalo, New York. Robert Cavalier, Sieur de la Salle navigated across Lake Erie, up the Detroit River, Lake St. Clair and the St. Clair River out into Lake Huron. Passing the Straits of Mackinac, La Salle made landfall on Washington Island, off the tip of the Door Peninsula on the Wisconsin side of Lake Michigan. La Salle filled Le Griffon with pelts and in late November 1679 sent Le Griffon back to the site of modern-day Buffalo, never to be seen again. Two wrecks have been identified as Le Griffon, although neither has gained final verification as the actual wreck. Blown by a fierce storm after leaving, Le Griffon ran aground before the storm. The people of Manitoulin Island say that the wreck in Mississagi Strait at the western tip of the island is that of Le Griffon.{{cite magazine |url = https://books.google.com/books?id=HWAg1y9FkdQC&q=+La+Salle&pg=PA72 |title = Lasalle's Griffin? |last = Allen |first = Durward L. |magazine = Boys' Life |publisher = Boy Scouts of America |date = September 1959 |pages = 19, 76–77 }}{{Cite web |url = http://www.themississagilighthouse.com/ships.html |title = Mississagi Lighthouse |access-date = July 1, 2013 |archive-date = July 12, 2013 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130712005812/http://www.themississagilighthouse.com/ships.html |url-status = bot: unknown }}{{cite web |url = http://www.michigansotherside.com/Articles/Griffon.htm |title = The Griffon: First Ghost Ship on the Great Lakes |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090623203610/http://www.michigansotherside.com/Articles/Griffon.htm |archive-date = June 23, 2009 |work = Michigansotherside.com |access-date = July 12, 2013 }} Meanwhile, others near Tobermory, say that the wreck on Russell Island, {{convert|150|mi|km}} farther east in Georgian Bay, is that of Le Griffon.{{harvp|Parker|1986|pp= 25–26}}.

On November 9, 1913, the Great Lakes Storm of 1913 in Lake Huron sank 10 ships, and more than 20 were driven ashore. The storm, which raged for 16 hours, killed 235 seamen.{{cite book |first = Dwight |last = Boyer |year = 1984 |title = True Tales of the Great Lakes |location = New York |publisher = Dodd, Mead |page = 212 |isbn = 9780396083481 }}

Matoa—a propeller freighter measuring 2,311 gross register tons—had passed between Port Huron, Michigan, and Sarnia, Ontario, just after midnight. On November 9, just after six in the morning, Senator pushed upstream. Less than an hour later, Manola—a propeller freighter of 2,325 gross register tons also built in Cleveland in 1890—passed through. Captain Frederick W. Light of Manola reported that both the Canadian and the American weather stations had storm flag signals flying from their weather towers.{{harvp|Boyer|1984|p= 266}}. Following behind at 7:00 a.m. that Sunday, Regina steamed out of Sarnia into the northwest gale. The warnings had been up for four hours.{{harvp|Boyer|1984|p= 268}}. Manola passed Regina off Port Sanilac, {{convert|22|smi|nmi km}} up the lake. Captain Light determined that if it continued to deteriorate, he would seek shelter at Harbor Beach, Michigan, another {{convert|30|smi|nmi km}} up the lake. There, he could seek shelter behind the breakwater. Before he reached Harbor Beach, the winds turned to the northeast and the lake began to rise. It was noon when he reached Harbor Beach and ran for shelter.

The waves were so violent that Manola touched bottom entering the harbor. With help from a tugboat, Manola tied up to the break wall with eight lines. It was about 3:00 p.m. when Manola was secured and the crew prepared to drop anchor. As they worked, the cables began to snap from wind pressure against the hull.

Lake Huron has a lake retention time of 22 years. Like all of the Great Lakes, the ecology of Lake Huron has undergone drastic changes in the last century. The lake originally supported a native deepwater fish community dominated by lake trout, which fed on several species of ciscos as well as sculpins and other native fishes. Several invasive species, including sea lamprey, alewife and rainbow smelt, became abundant in the lake by the 1930s. The major native top predator, lake trout, was virtually extirpated from the lake by 1950 through a combination of overfishing and the effects of sea lamprey. Several species of ciscos were also extirpated from the lake by the 1960s; the only remaining native ciscoes are bloater and Cisco (lake herring). Non-native Pacific salmon have been stocked in the lake since the 1960s, but are less abundant since a profound food web change that took place in 2003. Lake trout have also been stocked for decades in an attempt to rehabilitate the species and today are largely self sustaining, especially in the northern half of the lake.

Lake Huron contains many species of algae and seaweed, including the curly-leafed pondweed, a tall, kelp-like seaweed with small curly leaves able to grow up to {{convert|5|m|ft}}; spiked water-milfoil, a tall kelp-like seaweed with pine-like leaves, often growing in bushes, reaching heights of {{convert|2.5|m|ft}}; water silk, a smooth, silk-like algae that often grows on rocks; and muskgrass, a seaweed with a skinny stem and flower-like leaves. It is important to note that spiked water-milfoil and curly-leafed pondweed are both invasive species that can remove resources from native algae species.{{Cite web |title=Eurasian water milfoil {{!}} ontario.ca |url=https://www.ontario.ca/page/eurasian-water-milfoil |access-date=2025-04-12 |website=www.ontario.ca |language=en}}

Lake Huron has suffered recently by the introduction of a variety of new invasive species, including zebra and quagga mussels, the spiny water flea, and round gobies. The demersal fish community of the lake was in a state of collapse by 2006,{{cite magazine |first1 = Stephen C. |last1 = Riley |first2 = Edward F. |last2 = Roseman |first3 = S. Jerrine |last3 = Nichols |first4 = Timothy P. |last4 = O'Brien |first5 = Courtney S. |last5 = Kiley |first6 = Jeffrey S. |last6 = Schaeffer |date = November 2008 |title = Deepwater demersal fish community collapse in Lake Huron |magazine = Transactions of the American Fisheries Society |volume = 137 |issue = 6 |pages = 1879–1880 |doi = 10.1577/T07-141.1 }} and a number of drastic changes have been observed in the zooplankton community of the lake.{{cite magazine |first1 = Richard P. |last1 = Barbiero |first2 = Mary |last2 = Balcer |first3 = David C. |last3 = Rockwell |first4 = Marc L. |last4 = Tuchman |date = April 2009 |title = Recent shifts in the crustacean zooplankton community of Lake Huron |magazine = Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences |volume = 66 |issue = 5 |pages = 816–828 |doi = 10.1139/F09-036 }} Chinook salmon catches have also been greatly reduced in recent years, and lake whitefish have become less abundant and are in poor condition. These recent changes may be attributable to the new exotic species. Some native species, however were beneficiaries of these chances (principally a result of the almost complete disappearance of the invasive Alewife in the lake). These native species include Lake Trout and Walleye. The Walleye population in Saginaw Bay area of Lake Huron reached recovery targets in 2009.
