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

    The waves on Lake Michigan were far larger than I expected when I visited. Not as high as the Atlantic or Pacific, but pretty big.

    Right!? I've lived here my whole life, so it's normal for me. But when we had friends in to visit from a coastal state, the waves were big, and they were amazed. They kept forgetting it wasn't the ocean, and they loved that they didn't have to rinse off the salt afterwards 😁
