@kentex35 Lake Erie and Lake Michigan are ranked the third and fourth most polluted lakes in the United States, according to nature website AZ Animals.Jun 7, 2023.
According to the recent study by the Rochester Institute of Technology, 22 million pounds of plastic are dumped into the Great Lakes every year among which Lake Michigan turns out to be the most polluted one with 11 million pounds of them poured into.
Lake Superior is the Cleanest and Clearest Great Lake.

@JSul3 thank you for the a2ai did not even think about that. Does lake Michigan have beachfront in Chicago and Detroit among other places is second biggest or no.
I'll bet lake Superior is mostly in Canada. Where does that plastic collect at?. It's it like the Pacific being some big island of plastic? The plastic you can see in the Pacific isn't the worst part it's the plastic that been breaking down being exposed to sunlight and the tiny pieces it becomes. Peace

@kentex35 Chicago is on Lake Michigan, one of the five Great Lakes of North America. Lake Michigan accounts for all 28 miles of the city's shoreline and beaches, offering year-round beauty and enjoyment to all.
Chicago's entire 28-mile Lake Michigan shoreline is man-made. The original sand dune and swale topography has been dramatically altered. Before American settlement, storms changed the shoreline, either by building up or eroding sand.
With more than 1,600 miles of shoreline touching the states of Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, and Wisconsin, Lake Michigan is home to many beautiful sandy beaches. In fact, the region has been nicknamed "The Third Coast" of the United States after the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Several islands as well as inland lakes and rivers near its shores add to the beauty and accessibility of Lake Michigan.
Many Lake Michigan beaches are located in national, state, and county parks with excellent facilities for visitors. Beach towns, lakefront resorts, cabins, campgrounds, historic inns, and hotels provide a wide variety of places to stay.
Detroit beaches off Lake Michigan: Warren Dunes State Park, one of Lake Michigan's best beaches.
Silver Beach in St. Joseph.
Oval Beach, a best Lake Michigan beach.
Grand Haven Pier.
LIttle Sable Point at Silver Lake State Park.
Petoskey State Park.
Lake Superior is 'superior' for a reason:
As the coldest (it’s refreshing!) and most northern of the lakes, Superior is also the clearest. Because of its somewhat isolated location and long cold winters, not much farming is done along Superior’s shores. This means lower amounts of nutrients, sediments, and organic material are floating around the lake.
Superior also doesn’t have any major cities resting on its banks, unlike Lake Michigan, which has Chicago, and Huron and Erie, which are connected by the Detroit River. These factors combine to make Superior incredibly clean and crystal clear—just how everyone likes it.
