what lakes surround michigan
Best Answer: There are 5 greats lakes, but only 4 of them (lake michigan, lake huron, lake superior and lake erie) actually surround michigan. Michigan is bordered by four of the Great Lakes (Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, and a little bit of Lake Erie). Lake Ontario is east of Niagara Falls, so it borders New York and maybe part of Pennsylvania. Source(s): I live in Michigan. sarge927 Â· 9 years ago.
