Located in the heart of the Great Lakes Region, Michigan has plenty to offer any visitor. Although the state is known for its proximity to Great Lakes Superior, Huron and Michigan, it also boasts over 12,000 inland lakes and has more shoreline than any other mainland state. The state capital is in Lansing, but the largest and best known city is Detroit. This large port city is known as “Motor City” and is home to some of the largest automobile manufacturers in the world. Outside the large cities of Detroit, Grand Rapids and Muskegon, there is a wealth of natural beauty to discover.

Michigan's abundance of fresh water sources make it the ideal vacation destination for enthusiastic fishermen and its rolling inland also makes for good hunting. During the summer, many flock to the state's numerous ports and beaches for water activities such as sailing, motor boating and swimming. In the winter these areas ice over and provide for unique ice fishing opportunities and of course outdoor hockey. The Detroit Red Wings are one of the most storied hockey franchises in the nation and many are drawn to the unique game atmosphere in the arena. The state is also known for a number of well known universities including the University of Michigan, Michigan State and Western Michigan. These institutes are known for their academic excellence, as well as collegiate sports success. For anyone looking for outdoor adventure and warm hospitality, Michigan is the perfect year round destination!
