Lake Michigan
Are you thinking for the next weekend trip? CNN.com recommends to travel to the west cost of Michigan. Not only it is less costly and close, it has beautiful sites and sceneries which cannot be missed.
“Lake Michigan — the only one of the five Great Lakes entirely within the U.S. — is so large, up to 118 miles wide, that it resembles an inland, freshwater sea, with crashing waves and high and low tides. And when locals refer to Michigan’s west coast, they generally mean the eastern shore of the bottom half of the lake, running about 150 miles from the Indiana border north to the Ludington area”
“Lake Michigan’s sandy eastern shore has beautiful dunes and beaches, summer water temperatures in the mid-60s to low 70s and summer weather approaching perfection (in contrast to the gray and cold winters). Summer air temperatures rarely surpass 90 degrees and humidity is low. Still, Canadian cold fronts can arrive swiftly, so pack a light jacket — even for the dog days of summer.”
In addition, about a 90-minute drive from Chicago (ie. New Buffalo), is the first stop for many visitors to Michigan entering from Indiana on eastbound Interstate 94. It offers public beaches, resort cottages and a number of antique shops.
