It is also the third-largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area, after Lake Victoria in Africa and Lake Huron-Michigan in North America.

Lake Superior has the largest surface area of any freshwater lake, but Lake Baikal in Russia has a larger water volume.
I grew up in Sault Ste Marie Ontario. Superior is extremely clean and yes quite cold. Many beaches are very shallow and tolerable for swimming. You can literally walk out until you barely see the beach. Lots of sandbars and drop offs, but all of a sudden you could find yourself in trouble with current and undertow close to the shipping lanes. I don't believe that it has the largest surface area of the Great Lakes but is the deepest and has the most volume of water. I could be mistaken.
I was mistaken. Lol
Lake superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area. Larger than Huron and Victoria

The same thing happened to me and my wife one July when we were on vacation that's the coldest water I've ever felt in a lake.

“The legend lives on the chippawe on down, where the big lake they calll giche gumee”
And the old sailors all say they would have made Whitefish Bay, If they had fifteen more miles behind her.
The Lake it is said,Never gives up Her dead, When the skies of November turn Gloomy,
Especially in the year of 1913;When there was a 3 day storm OVER ALL THE GREST LAKES
“Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings, in the ruins of ‘er ice water mansion. Old Michigan steams like a young man’s dreams, the islands and bays are for sportsmen… and farther bellow, Lake Ontario takes in what Lake Erie can send ‘er.
My thoughts exactly.
2:21 that’s definitely a picture from the top of Angels Landing in Zion National Park in Utah
I knew that wasn’t in the Midwest. Thanks for pointing that out.
kool video
First the narrator says that Lake Superior is the largest lake of the Great Lakes and then says it's the third largest freshwater lake in the world after Lake Victoria and Lake Huron. In reality, Lake Superior at 82,100 square km is the largest Freshwater lake in the world with Victoria being second at 59,947 square km and Huron slightly smaller at 59,590 square km. Since lake Huron and lake Michigan are at the same level with just a strait connecting the two, Huron Michigan are really just two arms of the same lake, this is technically the largest lake in the world being 117,000 square km.
You are right, and this is a mistake from my side regarding Lake Victoria.

Copper played a huge role in Superior's history too.
Actually, a tragic history with copper. A huge strip of the eastern side of the Keweenaw Peninsula is covered with mining waste. It's visible via satellite. Was dumped into Lake Superior for decades and storms gradually spread it down the beach. Looks like a moonscape, heartbreaking.
This video should mention the importance of the trading history between the natives and the newly arrived Europeans.
Huron and Michigan are technically one lake, connected with the same sea level.
The lake,it is said,never gives up her dead
Seriously?
I don't get it
Superior is bigger than Lake Victoria
Gitchigumi is too formidable after say October 1. Too windy and too cold. The fish take it rather well. Just go deep.

You need to learn before you teach.

What is it supposed to be superior to ?
All of the other lakes! 😂
Up above or up-most. Superior to the lower Michigan land mass.
Not sure where Hudson bay area in Canada compared with superior. Certainly not well civilized.
