I never knew! Lake Superior empties into Lakes Michigan and Huron. The latter empties into Lake Erie, which empties into Lake Ontario via the mighty Niagara Falls, and eventually to the St. Lawrence and the Atlantic Ocean. Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, and Erie are on average a hundred meters higher than lake Ontario, which is ~75 meters above sea level.
