Yes...and Lake Erie is even worse. When it's beautiful--it's beautiful!!!
However when it's mean--look out.
It has the Trifecta of nature which can be a recipe for disaster.
1. Shallowest of the Great Lakes
2. It is actually a big river running SW to North east dumplings into Lake Ontario.
3. The weather sweeps from that same direction. --SW to NE.
Lake Erie has had more known shipwrecks per square foot than any other body of water (with the possible exception of the English Channel.)
Respect her and beauty and power and years of amazing boating will follow.
