how many rivers flow into and out of the great lakes?

Answer 1

This is a pretty simple question, but 'Actual Reality' has messed it up, just the same. Don't think he/she has ever visited upstate New York, Ontario, or Quebec.

A number of rivers drain or connect the Great Lakes. The St. Marys River connects Lake Superior to Lake Huron. Lake Huron drains to Lake Erie via the St. Clair River, Lake St. Clair, and the Detroit River. The Niagara River connects Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. Finally, the St. Lawrence River drains Lake Ontario (to the Gulf of St. Lawrence).

The St. Lawrence River is absolutely 100% real. In terms of discharge, it is second only to the Mississippi. The St. Lawrence Seaway is a system of canals, locks and diversions, constructed in the 1950-60s, designed to bypass natural obstacles, and allow seagoing traffic acess to Great Lakes ports inland. The Seaway includes 7 locks in the Montreal-Lake Ontario section, the Welland Canal (connecting Lake Ontario to Erie), and the Soo Locks (Huron to Superior).

Check the link below. The map will show you the extent of the Great Lakes watershed, and includes the main rivers draining into the Great Lakes.

Answer 2

One actually, the St Lawrence Seaway which is a fake river - a canal man made for shipping.

Now there are lots of little rivers in the great lakes region that go into it, but there is only the Detroit River, The Saint Clair River, and The Saint Lawrence Seaway which connect all the lakes together to eachother.
