The Great Lakes Basin is the largest surface freshwater system on
Earth. The more than 30,000 islands dotted throughout the basin
provide some of the best ways to enjoy the Great Lakes. While the
vast majority of these islands can only be reached by private
boat or plane, a surprising number of islands-each with its own
character and often harboring more than a bit of intrigue in its
history-can be reached by merely taking a ferry ride, or crossing
a bridge, offering everyone the chance to experience a variety of
island adventures.
