Ohio's portion of Lake Erie contains 26 islands, depending on the water level. Lake Erie supplies more fish for human consumption than any other Great Lake despite its size. We are more than halfway through summer—there’s still time for fishing, boating, swimming, and playing watersports. How about paying a visit to Lake Erie this summer?

Facts Ohioans need to know about Lake Erie, the other Great Lakes

Unless you’re someone with a deep (pun intended) fascination with the world’s bodies of water, it might be a challenge to fathom just how far down they can go. You can fish on the Great Lakes, go boating, swim, and partake in water sports, all the while enjoying the spectacular views they provide. But how deep is each one? You’d have to dive hundreds of feet below the surface to reach the bottom of each. How many hundreds of feet, though? And how can we truly understand how deep?

The Great Lakes were built for adventure. From criss-crossing the Canadian border to enjoying the surrounding metropolis of Chicago or the quaint towns like Duluth, this region has something for everyone. As a whole, the Great Lakes offer endless recreation, with Lake Michigan being in the center of the action. City dwellers can hit the shores directly from Chicago at Oak Street Beach or one of its other 25 beaches. From Grand Rapids, the underrated Saugatuck Dunes State Park makes for an easy day trip. Less than an hour north there's another beach that should make your radar.

Upworthy

Imagine retiring early and spending the rest of your life on a cruise ship visiting exotic locations, meeting interesting people and eating delectable food. It sounds fantastic, but surely it’s a billionaire’s fantasy, right?Not according to Angelyn Burk, 53, and her husband Richard. They’re living their best life hopping from ship to ship for around $100 a night, depending on the cruise. "Cruise costs vary quite a bit, our goal is to average about $100 per night, for the couple, or less across and entire calendar year," Richard told Upworthy. The Burks have called cruise ships their home since May 2021 and have no plans to go back to their lives as landlubbers. Angelyn took her first cruise in 1992 and it changed her goals in life forever. “Our original plan was to stay in different countries for a month at a time and eventually retire to cruise ships as we got older,” Angelyn told 7 News. But a few years back, Angelyn crunched the numbers and realized they could start much sooner than expected.
