lake ontario is the easternmost of the great lakes and the smallest in surface area (7,340 sq mi, 18,960 km), although it exceeds lake erie in volume (393 cu mi, 1,639 km). it is the 13th largest lake in the world. when its islands are included, the lake's shoreline is long. as the last lake in the great lakes' hydrologic chain, lake ontario has the lowest mean surface elevation of the lakes at 243 feet (74 m) above sea level; lower than its neighbor upstream. its maximum length is and its maximum width is . the lake's average depth is 47 fathoms 1 foot (283 ft; 86 m), with a maximum depth of 133 fathoms 4 feet (802 ft; 244 m). the lake's primary source is the niagara river, draining lake erie, with the st. lawrence river serving as the outlet. the drainage basin covers 24,720 square miles (64,030 km). as with all the great lakes, water levels change both within the year (owing to seasonal changes in water input) and among years (owing to longer term trends in precipitation). these water level fluctuations are an integral part of lake ecology, and produce and maintain extensive wetlands. the lake also has an important freshwater fishery, although it has been negatively affected by factors including over-fishing, water pollution and invasive species.
