After Grand Rapids, we reached Muskegon on Lake Michigan, our fourth Great Lake.. How can you get from Muskegon, MI to Milwaukee, WI without using much gas or getting your feet wet? We crossed Lake Michigan on a high speed ferry in 2 ½ hours. The catamaran hull allows the ferry to speed along at a rate of about 29 knots (33.35 mph). For well over 75 miles, we were out of sight of either shore. The captain said it would be an unusually calm crossing with little wind and only 0.5 foot waves. These Great Lakes are highways of commerce, their shorelines home to big cities, small towns and resort communities.
