Michigan at a Glance
The state of Michigan features the outdoors like few other states can and includes
lake activities, ski resorts, hunting opportunities and more. The Upper
Peninsula juts into Lake
Superior, setting the stage for a wealth of fishing and boating activities.
South from Lake Superior, Michigan bottlenecks into the Straits
of Mackinac, located between Lake
Michigan and Lake
Huron. Mackinac Island
is a popular destination in this area. Grand
Traverse Bay and West Coast
Michigan offer a choice of aquatic activities along the edge of Lake Michigan.
Kalamazoo can be found in
Southern Michigan, home
to three universities and two colleges. The state capital, Lansing,
is found in Central Michigan,
an area rife with historical attractions, including the Capitol
Building. The waters of Lake Huron lap at the shores of Saginaw
Bay and Northeast Michigan,
yielding yet more boating and fishing. The Greater
Detroit area is famous for producing the bulk of the U.S.A.'s
domestic cars.
