    It’s the same body of water, one lake. It’s just massive, and surrounds the lower peninsula of Michigan, so they gave each side of the lake a different name.

    Truly it’s massive, it behaves almost like the ocean in a lot of ways. A lot of water.

      Wow, no way! I thought the part between the UP and LP was a lot narrower than it is! Never realized that it was just one big lake with a narrow part

        Yeah it’s crazy, the Mackinac bridge is like 5 miles long, no foot traffic allowed except for one day of the year when thousands of people get together and walk across it.
