Michigan, boasting the longest freshwater coastline in the world, has 64,980 inland lakes and ponds and 11,000 lakes. Wherever you are in Michigan, you are less than six miles away from a natural body of water. The Grand Traverse County alone has 50 lakes. Big and small, glacial and man-made, some are inland and some are connected to Lake Michigan. Some are deep and others are shallow, with ancient cypress trunks rising from the waters. Ancient forests surround some, and others have huge dunes that tower over them.
