States with Highest Water Area Percentages.

Michigan (41.54% of land area are water bodies). The key reason why the state of Michigan has such high water area percentage is that it  is flanked by two Great Lakes - Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. The name, Michigan, originates from the Ojibwe word mishigamaa, meaning "large water" or "large lake". Michigan also has 64,980 inland lakes and ponds. A person in the state is never more than six miles (9.7 km) from a natural water source or more than 85 miles (137 km) from a Great Lakes shoreline.

Hawaii (41.25% of land area are water bodies). Hawaii is the only U.S. state located in Oceania, the only U.S. state located outside North America, and the only state completely surrounded by water and that is entirely an archipelago.

Rhode Island (33% of land area are water bodies).Rhode Island's official nickname is "The Ocean State", a reference to the large bays and inlets that carve into the state's land area.
