Re: Are we different in the UK
Simple Pete,
A body of water, such as a lake or reservoir, formed by usually deliberate flooding. From the late 1800s forward, waterways in Wisconsin have been blocked either by nature, in the form of beavers and wind storms, or man, using the water to power saw and grain mills. The water is normally slowed enough to force it out of it's banks, but normally there is some degree of water still flowing. Present day, water is used to generate hydro-electrical power or as part of the paper milling process.
That was a good question, I grew up around them and forget that most folks didn't grow up with 10,000 lakes in their state... I think Wisconsin and Minnesota are the only states in the U.S.; I'm not sure if Michigan is a member of that club or not? Do one of you Michigander's know what the lake count for Michigan is???
