DETROIT RIVER MOUTH

DELTA;LAKE ERIE

The Detroit River has always stayed in the same path and has always drained in Lake Erie.

There is no land features beside Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie around the Detroit River because most of the land is urban areas.

The deepest part of the Detroit River is 53 feet deep in the northern part of the river. At its source the river is at an elevation of 574 feet above sea level. The river drops three feet before going into Lake Erie at 571 feet.

CARRYING CAPACITY:

approximately 188,000 cubic feet per second

The Detroit River stays about the same shade of blue the whole river besides some lightish brown areas.

The Detroit River doesn't carry much sediment and has no interesting biological organisms that live there. I have no experience with the river.
