Review & FAQ:
Lake Michigan is the only one of the Great Lakes that lies entirely within the United States and does not share a border with Canada. It is the largest freshwater lake in the world to be located in a single country. Lake Michigan is massive, with over 1,600 shoreline miles and even tidal patterns that create waves on the ocean-like surface of this freshwater lake. Its edges are packed with cities, towns, and nature as well as beaches that have some of the most beautiful and sought-after sand in the world. On the water, lucky fishers might find salmon, trout, bass, steelhead, and walleye, and boaters can try their hands at sailing, jet skiing, or waterskiing.
