Lake Michigan: Chicago's Liquid Asset
First off, let's get one thing straight: Chicago is hugged by Lake Michigan. It's like having a giant, refreshing drink coaster for your city. Imagine waking up to the sound of waves instead of your neighbor's alarm. Sounds dreamy, right? But don't get too excited about cannonballing in, the water's brisk. Think of it as nature's natural ice bath.
Tip: Watch for summary phrases — they give the gist.
More Than Just a Pretty Lake
Lake Michigan isn't just a backdrop for Instagram pics (although it's perfect for that). It's a bustling hub of activity. You've got sailboats, ferries, and even the occasional brave soul paddleboarding. In winter, it transforms into a frozen wonderland, perfect for ice skating (or, you know, just slipping and sliding if you're me).
Tip: Jot down one takeaway from this post.

So, No Other Lakes?
Now, while Lake Michigan is the undisputed queen of Chicago's waterways, there are a few other smaller lakes sprinkled around the city. Think of them as the adorable puppies of the lake world. They're cute, but they don't quite have the same star power.
