The mitten-shaped Lower Peninsula is bordered by Lake Michigan to the west and Lake Huron to the east. Michigan’s location, tucked between four of the Great Lakes, makes it an exceptional place for finding outdoor activities, particularly those involving water.
Michigan boasts miles of coastline and an abundance of pristine waterways with excellent fishing, kayaking and canoeing.
