| - | This page is intended to centralize **conditions** and **resource** links about the Great Lakes rather than repeating the same info in multiple places which is a prescription for getting information out of sync. Individual run descriptions will still be found on the location pages that are home to those runs. Currently [[:lake_superior|]] (as of 2024) is the only lake with its own dedicated page. That will likely change as we get more information about paddling on the other lakes. | + | This page is intended to centralize **conditions** and **resource** links about the Great Lakes rather than repeating the same info in multiple places which is a prescription for getting information out of sync.

This tends to reinforce the comments that Tim Traynor makes in his videos about the variability and effects of microclimates on local winds on Lake Superior. \\ </WRAP> |
