The sunshine season has finally arrived and with it, the opportunity to spend endless hours each weekend relaxing at the lake (should your schedule permit it). There are few better places to kick up your feet, spend time with family and friends, and partake in water sports, than a lake! These magnificent bodies of water, both natural and manmade, exist as the absolute perfect weekend getaway for adventurers of all ages.

As if it couldn't get any better, there is one lake in each state that bears the reputation of being the best around for a variety of factors including surrounding wildlife, water quality, camping, and so much more!

According to a list compiled by Cheapism, the best lake in all of Michigan is Lake Michigan.

Here's what Cheapism detailed about the best lake in the entire state:

"The second-largest of the Great Lakes offers miles of white sand and massive dunes. Hello, dune buggies! With many lakefront towns to explore, there's plenty to see and do, but not much beats grabbing a blanket and watching a beautiful sunset over the distant horizon."
