At surface level, none are below sea level, but four of them, at their lowest depths, have portions below sea level.
Superior's surface lies at 600 ft above sea level, but it goes as deep as 1,332 feet in some places, or 732 feet below sea level.
Lake Michigan, at 577 feet, reaches depths of 925 (348 below sea). Lake Huron, at the same surface level, reaches 750 feet in depth (or 123 feet below sea level).
Lake Erie lies at 569 feet, with depths of 210 feet, is the only lake that does not reach below sea level. This is also the shallowest of the lakes.
Lake Ontario's surface elevation is 243 feet, and reaches depths of 802 feet, or 559 below sea level, the second-lowest below sea level.

None of them...
The lowest lake (L. Ontario) is the source to the Saint Laurence, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean. So it has to be above sealevel.
