1. Lake Superior gang, we outchea.

   Never actually been but I like that it’s called superior lmao

2. I’m gonna go with Ontario for bringing me our lovely weather, even though it does make my drives to Toronto somewhat longer. If Niagara Falls counts as “on the lakes”, the Canadian side is probably the best single spot.

3. Lake Michigan. Lined with amazing beaches in Michigan, Chicago and the skyline, and the beauty off of Door County.

4. I saw Lake Michigan once. It was…a big lake.

5. Gotta be Lake Michigan (sorry, Canada!). Milwaukee and Chicago wouldn’t be the same without it. The Milwaukee Art Museum sits right on the shore and it’s so beautiful. Bonus points for Door County and Sheboygan. I feel very fortunate to live near such a beautiful body of water.

6. Huron. Specifically for Georgian Bay

7. Lake Michigan. Not because I like the lake, but because my family said from Michigan.

8. Michigan. Because Chicago and Indiana Dunes and Sleeping Bear Dunes and Mackinac

   Runner up is Huron because of the Bruce peninsula (go Canada!)

   But man it is hard to chose because Superior is badass.

9. As someone who is from Michigan (home to 4/5 of the great lakes), my favorite is Lake Michigan. My family has some land off of it, and it’s honestly perfect. Not too cold (like superior). Cleaner than Erie. Plus I have the emotional connection of it. Huron is pretty great too, but something about Lake Michigan will always have my heart!

10. Lake Ontario because it is the only one I have seen in person.

11. Well, there’s definitely one that’s Superior to all the others

12. I suppose the Great Salt Lake is technically a Great Lake…

13. Gichigumi

14. Erie. It’s in my back yard.

15. Lake Michigan. Have lived on it my whole life, on both sides

16. Lake Michigan. It’s the only fully American one.

17. The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee

18. I’m only familiar with Lake Michigan from a book series, and unless that has an island which is a prison for a host of incredibly dangerous supernatural creatures, then I doubt I’ve gotten an accurate picture of it.

19. Lake Michigan has the most built up around it and Grand Haven is a beautiful beach. Lake Superior has better looking water though, it looks cleaner.

20. Superior. Marquette and Duluth are two of my favorite cities to visit.

21. Michigan because it has the lake Michigan Triangle.

22. Lake Superior. Without any *major* cities on it, it just seems more natural to me. I was raised near it (Upper Michigan) and it’s so awesome and powerful in fall-winter.

    I have seen the Chicago and Toronto skylines from the lakes, and those are some impressive views. All five of the lakes are worth seeing.

23. Superior because it’s superior.

24. Superior because it’s, well, superior.

25. I’m not an American, but the answer should be obvious. One of the lakes is vastly superior to the others. Can’t remember the name, though.
