Lake or Sea???✨🌊🤍
It blows my mind that Lake Superior isn’t considered a sea! She is the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area and holds 10% of the worlds fresh water. There are so many spots to see on the Lake. In the United States , Michigan , Wisconsin , and Minnesota border the lake.
