Lake Erie

Lake Erie is one of the five Great Lakes in North America, located between Ontario and the U.S. states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. It's the fourth-largest by surface area and the warmest, making it popular for boating and fishing. Lake Erie plays a vital role in regional ecology, providing habitat for diverse wildlife and supporting local economies through recreation and water supply. However, it faces environmental challenges like pollution, algae blooms, and habitat loss, which require ongoing management to preserve its health and resources for future generations.
