Lake Huron is the second largest of the Great Lakes, with a surface area of 23,000 square miles. It averages 195 feet deep and has a maximum depth of 750 feet.
About two-thirds of the lake's 51,700-square mile watershed is still covered with forests, and the lake contains more than 30,000 islands.
You can also find lists of fish found in Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, non-native species, or the complete listing. Note that not every species of fish found in the Great Lakes is included.
For current weather conditions, as reported by regional stations, see NOAA's Interactive Marine Observations site. For more weather and fishing information, see the Fishing page under Special Features on this site.
