Lake Huron is situated between Lake Michigan and Superior to the north-west and Lake Erie to the south. In fact, Lake Michigan and Lake Huron are connected by the Straits of Mackinac (pronounced “mack-in-aw”) at the same elevation, so they can technically be considered one big lake!

What states does Lake Huron go through?

The Lake is bounded on the west and south by the US State of Michigan and on the east and north by the Canadian Province of Ontario.

Why are Lake Michigan and Lake Huron different lakes?

The separate names for the lake are a part of history and are also legally institutionalized since Lake Michigan is treated as American and Lake Huron is bisected by the international boundary between the United States and Canada. Of all the world's freshwater lakes, North America's Great Lakes are unique.
