Does anyone remember the Great Lakes analogue in the Geronimo Stilton books?

The northern most lake. Fun fact about Lake Superior, it contains 10% of all surface freshwater in the world.

The western lake, though lake Michigan and Huron are actually a single lake, and also Michigan borders 4 of the 5 great lakes.
