 The Question:
Could you tell me what the largest body of fresh water is in the
world?
The Answer:
The largest freshwater lake in the world is Lake Superior in Michigan,
which has an area of 31,820 square miles.
But that fact is due to a historical inaccuracy regarding Lake
Superior's neighbors—Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. Read more
about the controversy in our feature, "Michigan and Huron: One Lake or
Two?."
