WHY Lake Erie and not Erie Lake


Billy Bob

Recommended Posts

Why do we say Seneca Lake, Silver Lake, Chautauqua Lake, Oneida Lake, etc....but when it comes to the Great Lakes, we say LAKE Erie, LAKE Ontario, LAKE Superior, LAKE Huron and LAKE Michigan. :dunno:

 

BTW we have some rivers here that you jump across and some creeks you can run your boat up.... :whistling:
