Michigan is nicknamed the "Great Lakes State", and also, the "Wolverine State", from a nickname earned during the Toledo War. An individual from Michigan is called a "Michigander" or "Michiganian" and rarely, a "Michiganite". Michigan has six international crossings with Ontario, Canada. Michigan is home to the Soo Locks, the world's busiest lock system, and the Mackinac and Ambassador Bridges, each formerly the world's longest suspension bridge. It is a leading state in the ownership of recreational boats and in the sale of hunting and fishing licenses. Michigan has the most registered boats (over 1 million) of any state in the Union. Michigan has approximately 40 ski resorts.
