While I agree with your logic, it's still arbitrary.
I think you're from Minnesota so you may know...
But I get a lot of sarcastic responses about our 15,000 lakes here and they are always like "woah, 15,000 large ponds, that must be
real cool" or "Yeah, but they are what they are-lakes"
Minnesota has not only a TON of lakes, but a lot of LARGE lakes. we have 3 lakes with OVER 100,000 acres in area. That's NOT counting Lake of the Woods or Lake Superior.
In my honest opinion, the "State with the Best Lakes" goes..
1. Michigan - The # of lakes- (10,000+, but by 4 acre standards) The 2 peninsulas on Great Lakes
2. Minnesota - The # of lakes- (15,000), Lake Superior, and large lakes like Red, Mille Lacs, Lake of the Woods, Gull Lake and Lake Minnetonka and White Bear
3. Wisconsin - The outcome if MI and MN had S.e.X and produced a child. Outdoorsy-ness of MN, plus the Great Lakes feel of Michigan
4. New York - Finger Lakes, Great Lakes Access, plus their lakes have Hills by them
Lake Minnetonka is awesome in itself and there really isn't anything like that in any metro in the USA. Same goes for White Bear Lake. Not to mention the 10 lakes inside of Minneapolis' 56 sq miles. Have you ever caught a Walleye on your lunch break from your White Collar job that's located on the 50th storey of a high-rise? Only in Minnesota.
