The lake is fed by over 200 rivers. The largest include the [[Nipigon River]], the [[St Louis River]], the [[Pigeon River (Minnesota-Ontario)|Pigeon River]], the [[Pic River]], the [[White River (Michigan)|White River]], the [[Michipicoten River]] and the [[Kaministiquia River]]. Lake Superior drains into [[Lake Huron]] by the [[St. Marys River (Michigan-Ontario)|St. Marys River]]. The rapids on the river necessitate the [[Sault locks]] (pronounced "soo"), a part of the [[Great Lakes Waterway]], to move boats over the 25 foot height difference from Lake Huron.
Water levels, including diversions of water from the [[Hudson Bay]] watershed, are governed by the [[International Lake Superior Board of Control]] which was established in 1914 by the [[International Joint Commission]].
Important towns on Lake Superior include the twin ports of [[Duluth, Minnesota]] and [[Superior, Wisconsin]], [[Thunder Bay, Ontario]], [[Marquette, Michigan]], [[Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario]], and [[Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan]].
Among the scenic places on the lake are the [[Apostle Islands National Lakeshore]], [[Isle Royale National Park]], [[Pukaskwa National Park]], [[Grand Island National Recreation Area]], and [[Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore]].
The lake is called "Gitche Gumee" ("big water") in the language of the [[Ojibwe]] who have inhabited the area for over five hundred years. The lake was named ''Lac Supérieur'' by French explorers because it was the highest in elevation of all the Great Lakes. The land surrounding the lake in Ontario, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan has proved to be rich for mining. Commercial concerns have mined copper, iron, silver, gold and nickel. Many towns are either current or former mining areas, or engaged in processing or shipment. The sparsely populated Lake Superior country with its rugged shorelines and wilderness attract tourists and adventurers, making tourism a large modern industry.
