General Michigan Information

Michigan claims more than 3,000 miles of lakeshore on four of the five Great Lakes. The shoreline includes everything from rocky beaches to large sandy beaches, with most of the shore somewhere in-between. The Lower Peninsula is farmland in the southern half and rolling wooded hills in the northern half. The largest concentrations of industry and people are in the southern part of the state. The Upper Peninsula is predominantly forested land, making it a prime spot for the sportsperson. Average Michigan temperatures vary greatly from one part of the state to another. Generally, you can expect warm to hot summers and anywhere from a mild to severe winter. As any Michigan resident will tell you, it's best to check the weather report before doing anything.

Michigan is filled with recreational activities. For the outdoorsperson, Michigan is wonderful for camping, hiking, canoeing, fishing and mountain biking. There are also several renowned museums and large shopping malls around the state for those not interested in outdoor activities. During the winter there are hundreds of miles of snowmobile and cross country ski trails, as well as numerous downhill ski resorts and, of course, ice fishing. Check out the regional pages for more specific info on recreation.
