Canada's Great Lakes mainland shoreline: 4931km (approx 2958 miles)
Canada's Great Lakes mainland plus lake island shoreline: 9052km (approx 5431 miles)
I didn't include the St. Lawrence River in my calculations, thought it is part of the same ecosystem.
Also, as many people live and play on the GL islands, I think the 9052km figure is more relevant to any conversation about shorelines (like, "how many kms of shorelines in the Great Lakes do Canadian authorities manage?"). Some of the best beaches for swimming etc. are also on islands.

MaineAnsweractually it's michigan ANSWERMinnesota has 90,000 miles of shorelineWell- the actual correct answer is Oklahoma-- It has more shoreling than the entire east coast and gulf coast combined.......Well, I'm not sure. It could be Maine, Michigan, Minnesota or Oklahoma. Michigan has a lot of lakes bordering it. Maine does border the Atlantic. But, that is coastline not shoreline. I don't know how many lakes Oklahoma has. Alaska has more lakes than MN. But, Minnesota has more than 10,000 lakes and it borders the second largest lake in the world, Lake Superior. So I say Minnesota too. It has more shoreline than California and Hawaii and Florida
