Lake Erie: Ohio ‘s Great Lake explores Lake Erie’s impact on the history, economy, agriculture, recreation and industry of communities in Ohio. Using archival film, photographs and high definition footage, the film illustrates how this invaluable natural resource influences virtually every aspect of the lives of those living near the lake. It examines the geology of how the lake was created; the Native American presence; the settlement of the state; the recreation the lake provides; and the impact of industry, agriculture and human interaction on the lake itself.

From the historical significance that helped in establishing America to the natural resources that have nurtured agriculture and industry, the documentary profiles the communities along the lake’s shore and throughout the state of Ohio that are affected each day by Lake Erie.
