Nicknamed the Great Lakes State, Michigan is the only state in the US to have two peninsulas. It has an estimated 65,000 inland lakes and ponds and one of the longest suspension bridges in the world — the Mackinac Bridge, which is five miles long. Michigan also has the nation’s longest freshwater coastline and the most lighthouses in the US. Three major automobile manufacturers call the state home: General Motors Corp., Chrysler LLC, and Ford Motor Co.
