Looks like this POI is still in the wrong place on Google Earth. Please update. As others have stated, you're looking for Manitoulin Island, not Manitou Island and it's in Lake Huron, not Lake Michigan. Thanks.

Shortest river ,,,,,,,,, its Oregon not Oregen, yes the D River it's only 120 ft depending on the tide. But the 2006 Guinness Book of World Records does not recognize any river as being the shortest. So we can say half of the time the D is the shortest and the other time the Roe is. But my real point was its Oregon, not Oregen

Mate, i have something to say about that "Bishop Rock, Isles of Scilly : Smallest Island on the Earth " u post...
That is not the smallest island on earth... if my memery serves me right, the smellest island on earth is in New Zealand, around the area of Picton, it only have the size of a desk, and have only 1 smell tree on it.
But sadly i cant remember the name of the island, but if u go to picton and take the tour curiser of Marlborough Sounds, they will introduce u to the island on ur way around the sounds.

Vidread, The smallest island in the world - according to the Guiness Book of Records - is Bishop Rock.
In 1861, the British government set out the parameters for classifying an island. It was decided that if it was inhabited, the size was immaterial . However, if it was uninhabited, it had to be "the summer's pasturage of at least one sheep" - which is about two acres . By this classification , I think the island you are referring to and many such islands around the world will not qualify to be the smallest island on the Earth
