Portage Lake

Portage Lake

Portage Lake (spr. pōrtĕdsch lël), See in Michigan, auf der in den Obern See vorspringenden Halbinsel Keweenaw, 35 km lang, 3–5 km breit, durch Herstellung eines 30 m breiten und 4 km langen Kanals für die Schiffahrt seit 1870 nutzbar gemacht, wodurch der 200 km lange Umweg um den gefährlichen Keweenaw Point erspart wird.
