My favorite lake in the Midwest is Storm Lake in Iowa, just because of how incredibly random it is surrounded by flat farmland.

Biased cuz of where I grew up, but Lake Michigan for sure. Yeah we got lake effect snow from the lake, but Lake Michigan also blocks severe weather from the Wisconsin/Illinois direction. Plus the land out by Lake Michigan is extremely lush, we're talking Fruit Ridge/other farming areas, but also all the woodland regions near the lake too -- most places within an hour of Lake Michigan are just gorgeous. And ofc the sand dunes, beaches, rivers connected to the lake, harbour towns, etc.
