Speed Boating on the Great Lakes
The Great Lakes have much more to offer than the crowded beaches on the Pacific Coast. Here, you and your family can visit historical sites and scenic forests before heading down to the pristine beaches for relaxation, swimming, and fishing. For proactive individuals and families, there are many opportunities that the Great Lakes have to offer; bike or hike on the many scenic trails, or get into a canoe, kayak,or speedboat for an exhilarating ride through lakes and streams. For a unique getaway, your family can do anything from going on breath-taking cruises and visiting freshwater islands, to scuba-diving though miles of preserved bottom-land wildlife and colossus sunken ships. The Great Lakes also boasts major cities across several states and provinces like Chicago, IL; Toledo, OH; Green Bay, WI; Detroit, MI; Buffalo, NY; and Niagara Falls, ON; in these cities you can enjoy fine dining, museums, sporting events, and shopping. If the big city is just not for you, there are many historical communities like Sault Sainte Marie, MI; Traverse City, MI; or Mackinac Island; these cities are ample with historical sites, shopping, and, of course, Great Lakes beach access. So, if you’re planning a family vacation or looking for a place to raise a family, no place comes close to the Great Lakes.
