The reason Michigan has so much coastline is because of the mitten shape and the little extra chunk that's all surrounded by water

I’m going to go with no one, since there isn’t a title for that. I think originally it was that, but now it’s just like Chief Justice of the US, not of the SCOTUS or something

Michigan has the longest freshwater coastline in the US and the second longest coast line in the US next to Alaska.

There is a comparative table of state shorelines on the Michigan Dept. of Environmental Quality's site that gives the measurements for states touching the Great Lakes. See LINK

World Book Encyclopedia (v.13, p.500 of the 2000 edition) states that Michigan's shoreline, at 3,288 miles is "more than any other state except Alaska. This includes 1,056 miles (1,699 kilometers) of island shoreline."

I couldn't answer for certain either way, but I'll take the data results from a Congressional Research Service report to congress, and NOAA's official measurements (2016) LINK, rather than an article from the 2000 World Book Encyclopedia.

It only appears orange because of our atmosphere.
