The one state where you can see the Northern Lights easily is Alaska. On very rare occasion, the Northern Lights can be seen as far south as St. Louis, but generally speaking, it is unusual to see them much south of Central Canada. I live in southern Michigan, am in my 60s, and I have seen the Northern Lights here exactly twice in my life.

That depends on the space weather affecting our planet. This changes the latitude at which the lights may be seen and therefore the states it can be seen from.

The northern lights can sometimes be visible in the northernmost states of the United States, such as Alaska, and occasionally in states like Minnesota, Michigan, and Maine during periods of heightened solar activity. The best chances of seeing the northern lights in the U.S. are in Alaska due to its proximity to the North Pole.
