Lake St. Clair
Detailed Description
Lake St. Clair is a freshwater lake that lies between the State of Michigan and Ontario, Canada. Sometimes it is referred to as “the sixth Great Lake". Lake St. Clair is smaller and shallower than the Great Lakes with a surface area of only 430 square miles and an average depth of 11 feet. It is a busy lake as it is considered a ‘premier fishing’ destination.
The wetland areas of the St. Clair River region are critical habitat for many species of fish, amphibians, reptiles, and migratory birds.
