It’s no surprise that Alaska is the furthest state away from Michigan that can be accessed by car. It would take less time to drive to and from Arizona than to make a one way trip to Alaska!
At only 206 miles, Wisconsin is actually the state with the shortest average drive to Michigan. This is because it is possible to take a ferry across Lake Michigan from Milwaukee to Muskegon or from Manitowoc to Ludington. Otherwise it becomes a 7.5 hour 453 mile drive to go around the southern edge of Lake Michigan.
