Goodbye Torch Lake, So Long Houghton Lake: This Michigan Fishing And Boating Paradise Features Crystal-Clear Waters

Depending on who you ask, only three or four other states in America can claim more lakes than Michigan. Even then, the Mitten State tops the list for the most miles of freshwater shoreline. So you can imagine the competition among lakes in what is aptly nicknamed the Great Lakes State. Torch Lake and Houghton Lake get a lot of attention for their boating and fishing, but there's a lesser-known gem with crystalline water that's also worth checking out. Located a 2.5-hour drive north of Grand Rapids, Lime Lake sprawls across 670 acres in Leelanau County. While locals may not be keen on Lime Lake getting too famous, eco-conscious visitors can certainly enjoy this pristine environment while preserving its beauty.

These 10 Michigan Restaurants Have Interiors So Wild They Might Steal The Whole Show

A chandelier made of spoons hangs over one of the dining rooms on this list. I read that detail once and immediately needed to see the rest of the room. It gets stranger from there. One dining room has hundreds of mounted animal heads watching your plate. Another lets you roll a cheese-shaped wooden ball toward a pigeon feather between bites. That game has been part of the room since the 1930s.
