The outlying areas. There are many tribuataries that lead there. Just look at a map. One thing you need to consider is that all the great lakes are connected and one lake flows into the next. For example, Lakes Michigan and Lake Superior flow into Lake Huron, which then flows into a river. A lake flowing into a river??? Yes. That is the Detroit River, which is rather wide, but not as wide as some, like the Mississippi. the rouge River flows into the Detroit River but the Clinton River flows into Lake St. Clair, which is actually part of Lake Huron, which in turn flows into the Detroit River, on its way to lower ground and out to the sea. As you follow the Detroit River around between the state of Michigan and Ohio and Windsor, Ontario, it then flows into Lake Erie and then into Lake Ontario, then into the St. Lawrence Seaway and then out to sea.

The Great Lakes were carved by the melting of a glacier after the last Ice Age.

there's a secret government project pumping all the water from Nevada into the Great Lakes. This way Nevada is a desert, and they can have area 51 out there where nobody ever goes.

It's true, 10,000 years ago, the Laurentide ice sheet receded and left the Great Lakes. But today the St. Lawrence watershed provides water from the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.

um... it rains a lot and the water goes in the lake. That's pretty much it!
What did you expect?
ps I guess some of our bigbrained Yahoo pals have not yet figured out that the St Lawrence is downhill from Lake Ontario -- and the water would have to flow up Niagara to get to the other lakes. duh!

They were initially filled by using the melting glacier, yet now some rivers do bypass into them, yet their substantial source of replenishment is rainfall and snowstorm. not one of the rivers that bypass into the excellent lakes are substantial rivers, between the most important ones is the moist River between Minnesota and Canada

Many separate rivers, which drain into all of them. Look at any large-scale map of any of them, and you will be able to identify them. The drainage basin includes parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illiinois, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and Ontario.

If you mean the original source, then that came from the ice that melted at the end of the last ice age.
