Highlights, landmarks & attractions:

⭕ Lake Michigan ● Lake Michigan is among the 5 Great Lakes of North America and the just one located entirely within the United States. The U.S. and Canada share the other 4 Great Lakes. It is the second-largest of the Great Lakes by volume (1,180 cu mi (4,900 km3)) and the third-largest by surface location (22,404 sq mi (58,030 km2)), after Lake Superior and Lake Huron (and is a little smaller than the U.S. state of West Virginia). Lake Michigan is shared, from west to east, by the U.S. states of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. Ports along its coasts consist of Chicago; Milwaukee; Green Bay, Wisconsin; Gary, Indiana; and Muskegon, Michigan. The word "Michigan" initially described the lake itself, and is believed to come from the Ojibwe word Michi-gami meaning "great water."

⭕ Chicago River ● The Chicago River is a system of rivers and also canals with a consolidated size of 156 miles (251 km) that runs with the city of Chicago, including its center (the Chicago Loop). Though not unusually long, the river is notable because it is just one of the reasons for Chicago's geographical value: the relevant Chicago Portage is a web link in between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River Basin, and ultimately the Gulf of Mexico.

⭕ Chicago Harbor ● The Chicago Harbor makes up the public rivers, canals, and lakes within the territorial limitations of the City of Chicago and all linking slips, basins, piers, breakwaters, and irreversible structures therein for a distance of three miles from the shore in between the extended north and south lines of the city. The greater Chicago Harbor includes portions of the Chicago River, the Calumet River, the Ogden Canal, the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, Lake Calumet, and Lake Michigan.


⭕ Willis Tower ● The Willis Tower, developed as and still typically described as the Sears Tower, is a 110-story, 1,450-foot (442.1 m) skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois. At completion in 1973, it surpassed the World Trade Center in New York to become the highest structure worldwide, a title it held for nearly 25 years; it stayed the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere up until the completion of a brand-new building at the rebuilt World Trade Center website in 2014. The Willis Tower is presently the second-tallest structure in the United States and the Western hemisphere-- and the 16th-tallest in the world. More than one million individuals visit its observation deck each year, making it one of Chicago's most famous traveler destinations.
