Just ONE Michigan Lake Makes List of Most Beautiful in U.S.
C'mon, Michigan is the Great Lakes State...
So while I'm glad at least one Michigan is being honored in this new national ranking, seems like there should be a lot more.

I get that ranking the most beautiful lakes in the country is a super tough task. As the travel publication that took it on, Loveexploring.com, points out: The U.S. has around 480,000 lakes in the lower 48 states. And this blew my mind -- Alaska claims to have a whopping three million lakes!

So yes, Michigan has far fewer than that with shoreline on four of the five great lakes and more than 11,000 inland lakes... but still.
If I had to pick just one Mitten State lake as the most stunning, I'd go with Lake Michigan. I was lucky enough to grow up on it, so I'm biased.
However, Loveexpoloring's experts had another pick for the Michigan lake ranked among the 25 most beautiful in the country...
Lake Superior, coming in at No. 8.
Here's the publications praise for the only Great Lake to make the ranking:
It’s hard to argue with a boastful name like Lake Superior. The biggest of the Great Lakes chain and the world’s largest freshwater lake by surface area (it covers 31,700 square miles/82,100sq km), it feels more like an ocean. The lake surrounds Isle Royale National Park, an archipelago of more than 200 islands – some of which have their own mini-lakes, waterfalls and even shipwrecks. The largest, Isle Royale, has wildlife including wolves and moose.
