travel to Lake Michigan

Lake Michigan is one of the five Great Lakes of North America, and the only one located entirely within the United States. Geologically, it is a large bay of Lake Michigan-Huron. By itself, it is the second largest of the Great Lakes by volume and the third largest by surface area, behind Lake Superior and Lake Huron. It is bounded, from west to east, by the U.S. states of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. The word "Michigan" originally referred to the lake itself, and is believed to come from the Ojibwa word mishigami meaning "great water".It is slightly smaller than the US state of West Virginia
