Michigan is a mid-western state in the United States, with its capital located in Lansing. Michigan borders Indiana and Ohio to the south, and Wisconsin to the southwest of the Upper Peninsula. Michigan also borders Minnesota, Illinois, the Canadian province of Ontario, and the Canadian First Nation (Indian) reserve of Walpole Island, but only on water boundaries in the Great Lakes system.

Michigan consists of two peninsulas, Lower and Upper. The Lower Peninsula is shaped like a mitten and is 277 miles (446 km) long from north to south and 195 miles (314 km) from east to west. The heavily forested Upper Peninsula (often called simply The U.P.) is as large as Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island combined, but has less than 330,000 inhabitants. The two peninsulas are surrounded by an extensive Great Lakes shoreline. The Great Lakes which touch the two peninsulas of Michigan are Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. No point in Michigan is more than 6 miles (10 km) from an inland lake or more than 85 miles (137 km) from one of the Great Lakes, and the state has more than 11,000 inland lakes and more than 36,000 miles (58,000 km) of rivers and streams.

Michigan is located in the Great Lakes Region of the United States touching four of the five Great Lakes - Superior, Huron, Erie and Michigan. With 3,288 miles of shoreline, Alaska is the only state with more shoreline. Michigan is comprised of two major landmasses, the Upper Peninsula and the Lower Peninsula connected by the 5-mile Mackinac Bridge. It is the only state in the nation with such large sections separated by water. In the Upper Peninsula, Mount Curwood flaunts the highest elevation at 1,980 feet above sea level. The lowest elevation, 572 feet, is found in Southeast Michigan along the banks of Lake Erie. Michigan is best known for automobile manufacturing in Detroit, its largest city.

Michigan comprises two peninsulas. These are divided by Lake Michigan, and linked by one of the world’s longest suspension bridges across the Straits of Mackinac. Lakes Superior, Huron and Erie also form the State’s shorelines. The Lower Peninsula, mainly agricultural and industrial, contains inland lakes, meadows and sandy beaches, as well as the ‘Motor City’ of Detroit. The Upper Peninsula is more rugged, and boasts forests, white beaches, trout streams and winter ski resorts.

Michigan is well known for water-oriented sports. It boasts over 3,000 acres of shoreline and 11,000 inland lakes. Many national forests in northern Michigan support canoeing, camping, hiking and mountain biking opportunities. Winter sports occupy the time of residents and visitors. Many facilities throughout Michigan provide cross-country ski trails, downhill skiing facilities and snowshoeing routes.
