Best Answer

One way is to look at a map or Atlas and locate Chicago. Then look at the big blue area to its right and note that it says "Lake Michigan" on the map. This can be confirmed by going to the City of Chicago and walking east as far as you can go and confirming that you eventually reach a very large body of water. However, the latter is not proof that said body of water is Lake Michigan.
