areas. There are several landforms to visit at Niagara Escarpment.Some of these include, limestone cracks, crevices and Lake Crawford, a rare and unique meromictic lake. A meromictic lake means that the lake has layers of water that do not intermix. This also means that whatever goes into the water stays down due to the lack of oxygen underwater in meromictic lakes. Due to this the lake is not used for water supply.The escarpment is also a great place to learn about its geological history and to see wildlife

most visited and largest lakes is none other than Gun Lake. The lakefront is home to a deep Indian history that reflects the extensive development of the surrounding area over the years. The lake is a key area in Barry County for recreation and tourism, but its rich history is its most important aspect.

The river is 100 miles long flowing south to Cuyahoga Falls where it then turns north until it empties into Lake Erie. Cleveland and Akron are two major cities located along the river. The Cuyahoga is known as an infant glacial river, this is because it is one of the youngest river created from the melting of the glaciers. It is estimated that the river is about

The diverse shape and topography of Michigan can be attributed to the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition throughout the area. The beautiful landscape we enjoy today began to take shape over tens of thousands of years ago under a sheet of ice. Approximately
