Hotels in Lake Michigan, United States

Lake Michigan, the only Great Lake entirely within the U.S., has a climate that swings from hot, humid summers (averaging 80°F / 27°C) to freezing winters (averaging 25°F / -4°C). It's famous for its 1,600 miles of sandy shoreline, including the towering dunes at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Michigan, and the skyline views from Chicago's Lakefront Trail. In summer, you can kayak along the Indiana Dunes or swim at Saugatuck's Oval Beach, while winter offers ice fishing on the frozen bays near Green Bay and cross-country skiing at Ludington State Park.
