Lake Erie takes honors as the best lake in the United States from USA TODAY

Maybe it's time to rename Lake Superior.

Lake Erie was named by USA TODAY's 10Best as the top lake in the United States.

In a reader vote, Lake Erie topped Geneva Lake in Wisconsin as the top body of water surrounded by land. Lake Erie borders Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania.

"It may be the shallowest of North America's Great Lakes, but Lake Erie has a massive amount of potential when it comes to both tourism and outdoor adventure," the 10Best entry reads. "Buffalo, Cleveland, and Toledo are just a few of the storied cities that can be explored along the Erie shore, while recreation opportunities range from fishing to bird-watching to shipwreck diving."

Three of the five Great Lakes made the top 10.
