Great Lakes Guide aims to grow the community of people actively participating in outdoor activities in the Great Lakes region. Learn about the region’s ecology, history, and culture from the Great Lakes Guide community as we bring together personal stories, indigenous knowledge, local history, and scientific discoveries. Connecting with this ecologically diverse and economically important area fosters a deeper love and appreciation for it, and helps ensure a swimmable, drinkable, and fishable future. This exciting program is a product of Swim Drink Fish, a national charity connecting people to water since 2001.
