It makes sense because those beaches are some of the most gorgeous things I have ever seen. While the Midwest is lacking in fantastic beach vacations, one thing we have plenty of is lakes. Travel + Leisure agrees, too, as they just named this tourist hot spot America's best for vacations.

Why Lake Superior Is a Fishing Paradise

The article calls Lake Superior the "Best for Fishing" while including:

Lake Superior is so vast it could easily hold the water from all of the other Great Lakes.
