i don't care if there really are 10,000 lakes in Minnesota, this can't be true.

How about this? It's actually something more like 15,000 lakes.

And supposedley Wisconsin has more lakes than Minnesota. I tried to find out hte answer once, but the Wisconsin DNR was not helpful. It comes down to the size definition of a lake. Wikipedia claims 11,842 lakes over 10 acres in MN.

EDIT: Wikipedia also claims Alaska is the only state with more lakes
