and Erie is still the shallowest Great Lake. Its still an old age lake and its still trying to devolve into a swamp.

Lake Superior - 489 ft / 149 m average 1,333 ft / 406 m maximum
Lake Michigan - 279 ft / 85 m average 923 ft / 281 m maximum
Lake Huron - 195 ft / 59 m average 750 ft / 229 m maximum
Lake Erie - 62 ft / 19 m average 210 ft / 64 m maximum
Lake Ontario - 283 ft / 86 m average 802 ft / 244 m maximum

From Wiki:

Lake Erie[5] (/ˈɪəri/; French: Lac Érié) is the fourth-largest lake (by surface area) of the five Great Lakes in North America, and the eleventh-largest globally if measured in terms of surface area.[1][6] It is the southernmost, shallowest, and smallest by volume of the Great Lakes[7][8] and therefore also has the shortest average water residence time. At its deepest point Lake Erie is 210 feet (64 metres) deep.

By area Erie is the 11th largest Lake, by depth it isn't in the top 40.
