The Lower Peninsula ranges from a dense urban metropolis in the southeast to sparsely populated forest regions in the north. It is separated from the Upper Peninsula by the Straits of Mackinac and adjoining waters of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron which stradle it ot the west and east, respectively. It borders with Indiana and Ohio in the south, and Ontario to the southeast. The region is not usually discussed as a whole, except in distinction to the "U.P." (and is almost never referred to as the "L.P.").
<!-- This article is not intended to be a "real" article, but is more of a manual "redirect" to actual regions of the state. Because there's an Upper Peninsula article, people might expect this article to exist, and there's no single place it should redirect. - User:Todd_VerBeek -->
