The USA Pickleball Association Great Lakes Region is pleased to include you in the conversation about "Great Lakes PICKLEBALL!" The Great Lakes are a chain of freshwater lakes located in eastern North American, on the Canada and United States border. Consisting of Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario, they form the largest group of freshwater lakes on Earth. They are sometimes referred to as "inland seas" or the "third coast" of Canada and the United States. The brilliant quality of PICKLEBALL in the Great Lakes Region reflects the grandeur of the Lakes themselves. The vision of the Lakes' vastness is reflected in the Great Lakes Region everyday, as more and more seniors and 'younger friends' fall in love with "The Great Game of the Great Lakes - PICKLEBALL!"
