Though the region’s alternative name—the Midwest—evokes a bland image of cornfields and small-town, white-picket-fence America, the states that hug the five Great Lakes encompass a variety of personalities. The world’s largest freshwater lake, Lake Superior, and its unpopulated, scenic coast cradle some of the most stunning natural features in the region—from the dense forests in northern Wisconsin to the waterfalls of the Upper Peninsula in Michigan. Meanwhile, the Lake Michigan coast hosts sand dunes, swimming, sailing, and deep-water fishing. Minneapolis and St. Paul form a bona fide coastal metropolis, while Chicago dazzles with a stunning skyline, incredible culinary offerings, and world-class museums.
