Lake Ontario & St. Lawrence River

Lake Ontario is the smallest but third deepest of the five Great Lakes.  It is 193 miles long and 53 miles wide.  It receives the discharge from the other four Great Lakes and passes it to the St. Lawrence River for its flow to the sea.  The St. Lawrence River has swift currents 3-4 mph with canals built around its legendary rapids.
