The Upper Peninsula shares a border with Wisconsin to the south and Ontario, Canada, to the west. Mount Arvon, at 1,979 feet (603 m) is the tallest mountain in the state.
Michigan is the only state that is bounded by four of the five Great Lakes, along with Lake Saint Clair. As a result, it ranks third in the United States for the number of recreational boats registered, behind California and Florida. In addition to the aforementioned major lakes, Michigan has a total of 64,980 inland lakes and ponds. There isn't a spot within the state that is more than six miles (10 km) from a natural body of water.
