Lake Erie will eventually disappear unless we get another ice age.

Erie was formed when the weight of the ice made a depression in the earth.

The ground under erie is rebounding at about 6 inches a year.

So in about 160 years it will be a swamp! something for your great-great grandchildren to anticipate!

I knew it was rebounding (along with the entire Great Lakes Basin) but didn’t realize it was that fast. I do recall reading once that at some point in the distant future, Erie will be a river comparable to the St. Lawrence.
