Why isn’t Georgian Bay considered to be a Great Lake?
I understand hydrologically it’s a part of Lake Huron, but the strait between Manitoulin Island and the Bruce Peninsula isn’t that much bigger than the Straits of Mackinac. Lake Michigan and Lake Huron are also both the same lake hydrologically too.
I feel like the proximity of the southern tip of Georgian Bay and Toronto has to be sort of important politically and logistically to Canadians? Plus this would give Canadians their own entire “Great Lakeâ€.
Also, this water is really just spill over from Lake Huron, Geologically speaking, the Great Lakes Basin is on the Michigan side of Wisconsin’s Door Peninsula and Ontario’s Bruce Peninsula, down to Niagara Falls.
