Lake Erie (pronounced [ˈi.ɹi]) is the eleventh largest lake on Earth[2] and, of the five Great Lakes of North America, it is the fourth largest by surface area, the southernmost, shallowest, and smallest by volume.[3][4] It is bounded on the north by the Canadian province Ontario, on the south by the U.S. states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York, and on the west by the state of Michigan. The lake is named after the Erie tribe of Native Americans who lived along its southern shore before European contact.[3]
The lake creates a favorable environment for agricultural pursuits in the bordering areas of Ontario, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.
