The Western Great Lakes forests, in large part, lie in the northwestern Great Lakes Basin near the shores of Lake Huron, Lake Michigan and Lake Superior, including the entire Upper Peninsula of Michigan and large parts of Northern Wisconsin, around Lake Superior into much of northern Minnesota and a smaller section into Canada.
The Great Lakes, also called the Great Lakes of North America, are a series of large interconnected freshwater lakes spanning the Canada–United States border.The five lakes are Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario (though hydrologically, Michigan and Huron are a single body of water; they are joined by the Straits of Mackinac).

It is the shallowest of the Great Lakes with an average depth of 10 fathoms 3 feet or 63 ft (19 m) [7] and a maximum depth of 35 fathoms (210 ft; 64 m) [7] [8] Because Erie is the shallowest, it is also the warmest of the Great Lakes, [17] and in 1999 this almost became a problem for two nuclear power plants which require cool lake water to ...
In 2012, FWS issued a rule that classified and delisted a sub-species called the Western Great Lakes wolves under the federal Endangered Species Act. [14] In response, Wisconsin enacted a law requiring a hunting season while the wolf population had reached 800. Minnesota and Wisconsin held wolf harvest seasons in 2012, 2013, and 2014.
