Minnesota: Minnesota has more than 15,000 lakes (depending on the condition of at least four squar acres or more of water) and numerous rivers and an inland sea. Lake superior is the largest fresh water inland sea in the world. Minnesota's lakes alone comprize over 90,000 miles of shore line, more than any other state including Alaska, California, Florida or Texas. Sorry people who think that Alaska somehow has 30 million lakes. But that isn't possible!
