Amar. ica, belonging to the basin of the St. Lawrence, second in size only to Lake Superior, and intermediate in position between that lake and Michigan, on the N.W. and W., and lakes Erie and Ontario, on the S. and S.E. It is of a somewhat triangular shape, extending between Lat. 430 and 46° 15′ N., and Lon. 79° 30′ and 85° W., surrounded W. and S.W. by the State of Michigan, and all the other sides by the territory of Upper Canada; and divided into 2 unequal parts by a long peninsula and the Manitou line chain of islands, the parts to the N. and E. of which are called North Channel and Georgian Bay. The total length of Lake H. , N. to S., is estimated at 280 m., and its greatest breadth about 190 m. Area , estimated at 25,000 sq. m. Elevation above the surface of the ocean, 596 feet, or le by 45 than that of Lake Superior, and by 4 than that of Lake Michigan. Greatest depth towards its W. shore at least 1,000 feet, and its mean depth is estimated at 900 feet, or about 300 feet below the level of the Atlantic. In various parts it abounds with islands, their total number being said to exceed 32,000, the largest, Manitou lin ( Evil Spirit ) Island, is nearly 90 m. long, and in one part almost 30 m. wide. Lake H. receives the superabundant water of Lake Superior by the river St. Mary, at its N.W. angle, and those of Michigan at Michilimachinac; and discharges its own towards Lake Erie by the St. Clair at its S. extremity. Lakes Nipi ing and Simcoe communicate with it by the Francis and Severn rivers, except which, however, Lake Huron receives no rivers worthy of mention. The banks of this lake are mostly low, especially along its S. and W. sides. Few towns of consequence exist on its shores, and its navigation is rendered dangerous by sudden and violent tempests.
