This site was designed to shed some light on one of the lesser-known bodies of water in the Great Lakes system, Lake St. Clair.

Lake St. Clair lies between Ontario, Canada and Michigan in the United States. It is fed through the St. Clair River by Lake Huron to its north, and empties into Lake Erie (to its south) through the Detroit River. It is located about six miles (10 km) northeast of the city of Detroit.

Here you will find history, environmental issues, fun facts, pictures, and information on just about everything Lake St. Clair has to offer. So take a look around, and if you like what you see, or have any suggestions, feel free to let me know via the email link below.




"Nature seems to have refused Detroit nothing that can contribute to make a country delightful: hills, meadows, fields, lofty forests, rivulets, fountains, and rivers and all of them so excellent in their kind and so happily blended, as to equal the most romantic wishes. The islands seem placed in the river on purpose to enhance the beauty of the prospect; the river and lake abound in fish, the air is pure and the climate temperate and extremely wholesome."


-Henry Schoolcraft, 1820
