The beautiful Great Lakes State of Michigan consists of two large peninsulas. The Upper Peninsula has Lake Superior to its northern border. 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. The lake and snow of Michigan make it a great place for winter sports such as skiing, dog-sledding, ice climbing and flat tire biking. Numerous state and national parks in Michigan offer exceptional hiking, camping, horseback riding and golf.
