If you are referring to "The Great Lakes" then the states are:
Wisconsin
Michigan
Illinois
Ohio
Indiana
New York
The Great Lakes are at the northern border of the United States, except Lake Michigan, which is completely in the United States. Needless to say, the Great Lakes are in the northern US.
Some states in the United States have few natural lakes, so they have dammed rivers to create artificial lakes called: RESERVIONS
Oklahoma has the most manmade lakes in the United States.
The Great Lakes are important to the United States because it allows the transportation of cargo such as iron ore to travel by sea to the several States and Canada that border these lakes.
Michigan because it has all the lakes near it witch the water from the lakes turn into fog which makes it the foggiest state in the US.
Lakes Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie and Ontario - they are located near the US and Canada border in northeastern North America
There are numerous lakes in the United States. Two of them are the Great Salt Lake in Utah and Lake George in the US State of New York.
Florida is nowhere near the Great Lakes that are between Canada and the United States.
The Great Lakes are in the northern part of the US, and Texas is in the Southwest part of the US. The Great Lakes are therefore not near Texas; however, the Mississippi River borders Texas and empties into the Gulf of Mexico.
The largest lake in the United States is lake Superior. It is located with the Great Lakes near Michigan.
There are no US states that have no lakes at all. If estuarial lakes are excluded, then Texas may be said to have only one (possibly 2) naturally formed lakes. Maryland is said to have no lakes because they are all "ponds" (i.e. smaller than lakes).
All the Great lakes are shared by Canada and the US except lake Michigan which has no Canadian shoreline.
