to Minnesota
 The state
is bordered on the north by Canada (Manitoba and Ontario); on the east by
Wisconsin and Lake Superior; on the south by Iowa; and on the west by North
Dakota and South Dakota. In addition, Minnesota shares a water boundary with
Michigan.
It is famous for its lakes, having in excess of 15,000,
depending on the source of the count. Much of the state is flat, having been
eroded during repeated glacial periods (most recently the Wisconsin Glacier).
However, the extreme southeastern portion of the state is part of the Driftless
Zone, which was not glaciated, and it is here that Lake Pepin and the rugged
high bluffs of the Mississippi River are found. In addition, the Iron Range and
other low mountains are found in the northeastern part of the state. The
Minnesota portion of Lake Superior is the largest body of water in the
state.
