    Indeed, hence why I specified hydrologically. Geographically and politically, they are two separate lakes.

    Canada couldn’t handle Lake Michigan anyway, it’s too warm for them

      Spoken like someone who has never been in the bathwater that is Erie’s western basin.

        I actually have been in Lake Erie. The great lakes are not solely the domain of the Midwest and Canada. But you do have a point

      Wait? Are there really warm lakes? I live way North of the great lakes and have never experienced such sorcery that wasn’t attached to a spring.

        Oh yeah, big time. I don’t think any of the great lakes would actually fit that description though. The problem with warm lakes is that there’s usually a lot more biological activity going on, so the water tends to be much less clear.

        I’d prefer to swim in a cold, clear lake instead of a warm, murky lake any day of the week. That’s how you get infected by one of these bad boys.
