A pretty close guess, but the actual number is 11,842 lakes. We have more coastline than California. And that means we also own the most boats of all the states with 143.6 boats per 1,000 residents. An amazing number of boats considering we can only use them about 3 months out of the year. The rest of the year we can drive on our lakes and move tiny houses out on them to drink beer, watch football, and fish for walleyes in our underwear at -20F.
I myself own 2 motorboats, one I bought and one I inherited. Plus a canoe and a kayak, 2 wheeled fish houses, and 2 popup canvas fish houses. Again, one of each bought and one of each inherited.
Start trucking in material to start filling in half of your lakes. You could significantly expand your land area.
I think they are going to want that water in the very near future.
There are like 100k bodies of water just in that state. It’s huge swampland

Wetlands. Swamps aren’t as desirable.
Yes. Invaluable.
I’m not actually advocating filling them in lol Reference, where this post exists
