The western 1/3 of L Erie has an average depth of about 30 ft. If you are an ore boat drafting 25 ft, that can be a problem which is why they stay in the Pelee channel on the north side of Pelee Island or the dredged channel into Toledo. Couple of days of SW wind can push 2-3 ft of water from Toledo to Buffalo which then flows back to Toledo when the wind dies. It's the Great Lakes version of tides<grin>. None of the above affects a recreational sailboat's ability to enjoy the lake, at least it didn't mine other than to avoid the shoals around Pelee island.
