Lake Huron

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.
Huron, Lake 

a lake in North America, in the USA and Canada. Second largest of the Great Lakes. Area, 59,600 sq km. Maximum depth, 208 m. To the northwest the St. Marys River and the Sault Ste. Marie Canal connect Lake Huron with Lake Superior, and the Straits of Mackinac connect it with Lake Michigan; to the south the St. Claire River, Lake St. Claire and the Detroit River connect it with Lake Erie. Many small rivers empty into Lake Huron; it is drained by the St. Claire River. The northern shores are high and rocky; the southern shores are low. Fluctuations in level are negligible because they are regulated artificially. The lake abounds with fish (trout, whitefish, bream, and sheatfish) and is navigated. The main ports are Sarnia and Midland in Canada and Alpena in the USA.
