Michigan information
Derived from an Indian word meaning "great lake," Michigan consists of two
peninsulas, which border four of the five Great Lakes: Erie, Huron, Michigan,
and Superior. Shaped like a mitten, the Lower Peninsula grasps the majority of
the population in its palm. This population derives a great deal of its income
from the auto industry.
Since Michigan claims over 10,000 lakes and numerous rivers in addition to
the Great Lakes, it attracts many summer residents who enjoy the forests,
streams, and natural areas as a break from city life. Because of this, many
resort communities have sprung up across the state and visitors take advantage
of the natural resources that Michigan has to offer. Skiing, canoeing, car
racing, and antiquing attract the tourists to this rolling, green landscape
blessed with an abundance of lakes.
Michigan's population has a rich European heritage. Irish immigrants settled
the area in southern Michigan known as the Irish Hills because it reminded them
so much of home. Also, the Dutch town of Holland and the German town of
Frankenmuth preserve homeland traditions with ethnic foods, architectures,
handicrafts, and festivals.
Michigan is also famous for its fruit production. Cherries, apples,
blueberries, and other fruits thrive on its soil. The Southwest Michigan Tourist
Council publishes a driving map that takes you through the many orchards. The
blossoms burst into fragrant color in the spring, the roadside stands open in
the summer, and the trees display their vibrant palettes in the fall.
The Straits of Mackinac have separated Michigan's two peninsulas which, since
1957, have been joined by the five-mile-long Mackinac Bridge. Crossing the
bridge takes you on a journey into desolate wilderness. Many of the early
settlers to the area came from abroad to work in the mines. Such specialties as
Cornish pasties, a folded pastry shell with a meat and potato filling, came with
the immigrants and still remains popular. Yoopers, as they are affectionately
known, brave the long winters and heavy snowfalls where seasonal accumulations
of the white stuff average 180 inches. Naturally, this area is a paradise for
snowshoers, skiers, and snowmobilers.
Natural scenery abounds in this wilderness area. The Tahquamenon Falls, Isle
Royale National Park, Pictured Rocks Lakeshore, and Porcupine Mountains count
among the many areas that merit a visit. Expect to encounter wildlife like
moose, deer, and bears. The shoreline of Lake Superior attracts agate hunters
and you may even catch a ghost ship passing by. Remember to allow plenty of time
for exploring the Upper Penninsula.
Michigan's Great Lake Circle Tours will introduce you to each of the bodies
of water. With over 3,000 miles of shoreline, Michigan has many lighthouses,
summer resorts, beaches, and plenty of water-based activities. Each of the lakes
has a distinct personality waiting to be discovered. Plan your travels and
allowing plenty of time for visiting the numerous roadside attractions. The
sheer size of the state demands several visits to experience the diversity found
in this wonderland.
