Central Michigan, often called
Mid Michigan, is a region in the
Lower Peninsula of the
U.S. state of
Michigan. As its name implies, it is the central area of the Lower Peninsula. Lower Michigan is said to resemble a
mitten, and Central Michigan corresponds roughly to the palm. The region consists mainly of farmland and some cities of moderate size, stretching from Michigan's eastern shoreline along
Lake Huron into the fertile rolling plains of the
Michigan Basin.
