Michigan is knows as "The Great Lakes State" because it is surrounded by, and borders four of the five Great Lakes (Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, Lake Huron, and Lake Erie, but not Lake Ontario). Michigan is the only state to consist entirely of two peninsulas (Upper and Lower).

Lake Michigan is the only one of the Great Lakes that is geographically located entirely within the boundaries of the United States of America. The other five lakes are divided midway between the U.S. and Ontario Canada. Other U.S. States besides Michigan that border some portion of the Great Lakes include Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
