Great Lakes Region

The Great Lakes Region includes the Canadian province of Ontario and the eight U.S. states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario are the largest group of freshwater lakes on Earth. They’re more like inland seas with forested islands, rock caves and sand-dune beaches. The Great Lakes were first charted by French explorers in the late 1600s. Towns on their coasts quickly prospered and attracted a steady stream of immigrants to this resource-rich section of the U.S. Today, the lake-bordering states offer RVers a first-hand look at the wilderness that inspired industrial innovation and powered great cities while providing picturesque panoramas of rural life.
