Formed 1.2 billion years ago, Lake Michigan is filled with glacial meltwater. It measures 923 ft (281 m) at its deepest. Lake Michigan is essential to the surrounding communities as a water source and a place for recreation. Its miles of sandy shores are dubbed “The Third Coast of the USA.” You can spend the day on the beaches playing volleyball, building sandcastles, and swimming, but only when lifeguards are present. On the perimeter are 59 lighthouses with a set of range lights that help guide sailing vessels. Lake Michigan is connected to Lake Huron by the Straits of Mackinac. Its borders encompass towns and cities of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin. If you looking to spend your vacation amidst nature, book one of these best cabins with hot tub near Lake Michigan, USA.
