michigan... just for the upper peninsula really. too much of the natural landscape of the midwest has been torn down for crops :/

It's absolutely insane to think about the ecological destruction of the Midwest. We used to have bison around literally everywhere.

Carve out the SE corner of Minnesota, SW Wisconsin, and NE Iowa. Bang: you got Driftless National Park

Whelp, whoever was pushing for Driftless gave up. The usual "we don't want the government to come in here and tell us what to do" fears killed it. :(

Wisconsin because its my state and its awesome

Minnesota or Michigan. These states have some of the best Great Lakes shoreline and are less inhabited in their north ends. If the UP counted as it’s own state, I’d say the UP.

I would have to agree. All the wilderness that is out there along with changing environments and terrain really makes for some amazing scenery as well as places for wildlife to really blossom.

Michigan. It's the midwest's hidden treasure for natural beauty.

Really if just make Upper the National Park it gets the job done and there's still a whole state left.
