Michigan
HEART OF THE GREAT LAKES
Michigan has been shaped figuratively and literally by the Great Lakes. Carved by glaciers more than 12,000 years ago, its two peninsulas are visible from the moon and instantly recognizable on any globe or atlas.
These two peninsulas are dotted with more than 11,000 inland lakes, laced with 36,000 miles of rivers and streams and defined by a 3,200-mile Great Lakes coastline. A shoreline dotted with more than 100 public beaches, some of the highest freshwater sand dunes in the world, stunning multi-colored sandstone cliffs, two National Lakeshores and the only national marine sanctuary in the Great Lakes - the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary in Lake Huron. More than 100 lighthouses, numerous maritime museums, ten shipwreck-diving preserves and historic military fortifications dating from the American Revolution and the Civil War also rim Michigan’s Great Lakes shoreline.
The Michigan shore of Lake Michigan has been described as “an American Riviera” with mile after mile of blond-sand beaches, more than a score of state parks, a National Lakeshore, charming lakeside villages, lighthouses, artists’ colonies, designer golf courses and world class resorts. Rand McNally, one of the world’s most recognized travel and reference material production companies, bestowed its “2002 Best of the Road TM” honor upon the drive from southwest Michigan’s Benton Harbor to northern Michigan’s Petoskey.
Michigan is defined not only by its vast expanses of water but also by the forests that cover more than 30,000 square miles - more than half the size of the state. Lakes, camp grounds, wild life refuges, and 99 state parks and recreation areas scattered throughout these vast forests create a wide variety of recreational pursuits. Rivers for canoeing, kayaking, fishing and swimming, and thousands of miles of hiking, biking, riding, cross-country skiing and snowmobile trails thread their way among some 100 species of trees.
Michigan’s tens of thousands of square miles of Great Lakes and inland waterways teem with more than 140 varieties of fish - ranging from finger-sized smelt to 20 and 30 pound Chinook salmon and lake trout.
Hundreds of islands dot Michigan waters. Isle Royale National Park is a remote wilderness retreat in Lake Superior where wolves and moose roam free. Mackinac Island, located in the Straits of Mackinac, is a lush 19th-century resort fixed firmly in the Victorian era, a car-free island dominated by an 18th-century fort and the more than a century-old Grand Hotel, America’s largest summer resort hotel.
A maritime climate has blessed Michigan agriculture with one of the most diverse ranges of crops in the United States and thrice-blessed golfers with more public courses (more than 1,000) than any other state, with long hours of daylight in the summer and a lingering autumn season that can stretch into early December. It is no wonder that Michigan visitors enjoy fruit right off the tree, fine wine from local vintners, golf on designer courses with some of the finest turf grass available, and nearly a score of some of the best and largest resorts in the Midwest.
Michigan and its lakes - both Great and small -make up a place that is unlike anyplace else in the world. Visit Michigan.org for additional information on Michigan’s Great Lakes or to plan a Great Lakes getaway.
