Bordered by Wisconsin, Illinois,
Indiana and Michigan, Lake Michigan is the only Great Lake that lies entirely within the
boundaries of the United States. Lake Michigan is the third largest Great Lake and the
sixth largest lake in the world. Lake Michigan has a split personality. Much of its
northern shore is virgin territory, but its southern end supports an intensive
concentration of people and industry. |
|
| Found along its shores are beautiful islands and the largest
lakeshore dunes in the world. Visitors are attracted to its numerous beaches, coastal
state parks and national lakeshores. Lake Michigan also boasts world-class trout and
salmon fishing. |
