Detroit It is true that Detroit is "by" the Great lakes if one means not "on" the Great lakes. Detroit is "on" the Detroit River, which along with Lake St.Clair, and the St. Clair River, connects Lake Huron, and Lake Erie, both which are Great Lakes. Interestingly, some are requesting that Lake St. Clair be designated as a Great Lake, which would be a political and definitional addition to the existing 5 Great Lakes. Other Michigan Cities "on" the Great Lakes are Port Huron which is where the St. Clair River connects with Lake Huron. Muskegan is on Lake Michigan. Marquette is on Lake Superior. Menominee is on Lake Michigan. Saginaw and Bay city are port Cities on Lake Huron. The lists go on. But Detroit is not "on" any of the Great Lakes.
Michigan is bordered by 4 of the 5 great lakes. They are Lakes Huron, Ontario, Michigan and Superior.

Michigan is called the "Great Lakes State".
The Great Lakes do form a section of the border between the US and Canada, as does a short stretch of the Saint Lawrence River. However, a longer stretch of the river is wholly in Canadian territory, and one of the Great Lakes (Michigan) is entirely in US territory.
Michigan is located near the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes are fresh water lakes, so it should be easy to get fresh water in Michigan.
There are no seas around the State of Michigan. Michigan has coasts on four of the five Great Lakes - Lakes Erie, Huron, Michigan and Superior
