Lakes

There are some two million lakes in Canada, covering about 7.6 percent of the Canadian landmass. The main lakes, in order of the surface area located in Canada (many large lakes are traversed by the Canada-U.S. border), are Huron, Great Bear, Superior, Great Slave, Winnipeg, Erie and Ontario. The largest lake situated entirely in Canada is Great Bear Lake (31 328 km2) in the Northwest Territories. The deepest lake is Great Slave Lake, N.W.T., 614 metres.

The Great Lakes - Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario - are the largest group of freshwater lakes in the world. They have a total surface area of 245 000 square kilometres, of which about one third is in Canada; only Lake Michigan is entirely within the USA.

Ontario is the only province, state, or territory that borders all 4 Great Lakes that touch Canada.

The largest lake in the world to drain naturally in two directions is Wollaston Lake in Saskatchewan, 2681 square kilometres. It flows north into the Mackenzie River basin and east into Hudson Bay.

The world's largest lake inside a lake, Manitou Lake, is located on the world's largest lake island, Manitoulin Island, which is located on Lake Huron. Manitoulin Island covers 2 765 square kilometres. The largest island in Canada is Baffin Island, Nunavut., 507 451 square kilometres.

Rivers

Rivers in Canada flow into five major ocean drainage basins: the Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic oceans, Hudson Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The drainage basin areas are separated by a drainage divide or height of land. The river system with the largest drainage area is the Mackenzie River, with 1 805 200 square kilometres- one- fifth of Canada.

The St. Lawrence (3 058 kilometres long) is Canada's most important river, providing a seaway for ships from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. The longest Canadian river is the Mackenzie, which flows 4 241 kilometres through the Northwest Territories. Other large watercourses include the Yukon and the Columbia (parts of which flow through U.S. territory), the Nelson, the Churchill, and the Fraser - along with major tributaries such as the Saskatchewan, the Peace, the Ottawa, the Athabasca and the Liard.

Mr. Peabody

Fwiw, Lake Michigan lies entirely within the USA. The other 4 Great Lakes are split down the middle.
Try google Earth. All the blue stuff is water. Good luck with your counting.
