Now it's up to a public vote to determine the the top 10. Let's make it a Great Lake!

Poor Lake Ontario - it's the only Great Lake not in the running. So yes, that leaves Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, Lake Erie, and Lake Superior that are all up for the best lake in the nation.

You can vote for your favorite here once per day through June 3 at noon.

Here's what USA Today had to say about each Great Lake:

Lake Huron

Along the Canada-United States border, Lake Huron showcases the abundant natural beauty found in both Michigan and Ontario. Natural sites abound across the region, with top-tier outdoor adventure destinations like Port Crescent State Park and Bruce Peninsula National Park open for exploration, while towering lighthouses and sunken shipwrecks are all waiting to be discovered along the Huron shore.

Lake Michigan

Perched along the borders of Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan, the aptly named Lake Michigan serves as the largest lake on Earth to reside solely in one country. In addition to gorgeous natural sites like Indiana Dunes National Park and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, the Lake Michigan coast is lined with dazzling cities like Green Bay, Milwaukee and Chicago, offering visitors an opportunity to blend outdoor adventure with urban exploration during their next trip.

Lake Superior 

Measuring in at a staggering 31,700 square miles, Lake Superior has the largest surface area of any freshwater lake on planet Earth. This colossal body of water plays host to a massive array of native marine life including lake sturgeon, yellow perch and walleye, while human settlements around the region span from Canada's Thunder Bay to the scenic Michigan Upper Peninsula city of Marquette.

Lake Erie

It may be the shallowest of North America's Great Lakes, but Lake Erie has a massive amount of potential when it comes to both tourism and outdoor adventure. Buffalo, Cleveland and Toledo are just a few of the storied cities that can be explored along the Erie shore, while recreation opportunities range from fishing to birdwatching to even shipwreck diving.

The Great Lakes (and Lake Charlevoix) are also in the running in a few other competitions too!

Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Charlevoix are all up for "Best Swimming Lake" in the U.S. You can vote here.
