Which U.S. state has the most lakes and how many?

Question

Looking to move and seeking lakefront property. The more lakes there are, the cheaper the property.

Answer 1

Alaska!!!!! Alaska is home to more than three million lakes. Fact!!!!  Minnesota (Land of 10,000 Lakes) has the most lakes in the lower 48 states.

Answer 2

Minnesota, land of a thousand lakes!  They all look like Siberian lakes.  Why don't you go for quality, like Lake Tahoe?

Answer 3

I'm not sure which state has the most, but I do know that Minnesota doesn't have the most.  Wisconsin technically has more lakes. Minnesota has a larger total area in lakes, however.

Answer 4

Minnesota?

Land of Lakes.

4,500 lakes and rivers.

Answer 5

Alaska. We have more than 3 million lakes. Most are in remote locations and wouldn't be very convenient for a lake-side home. Lakefront property is very expensive in the major cities.

Answer 6

My sons homework several weeks ago was on this topic, and I couldn't believe it said that Florida has the most lakes followed by Alaska..I'm a native Floridian and never knew that. Hey you learn something new everyday. Central Florida is a great area to live.
