From scenic lakes and laid-back resort towns to some of America's most vibrant cities, the Midwest has plenty of vacation appeal and seasonal fun.

Fun in the Sun


In summer, the Great Lakes and the thousands of family-friendly lake destinations in Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio (and more!) will provide hours of fun in the sun. Spend a week at a lake home or lakefront cabin, and you'll enjoy one of the most relaxing vacations ever.

In fall, the Midwest woods turn vibrant shades and make for some of the most spectacular places in the US to enjoy the changing seasons, the crisp autumn air and to spend a long weekend or week leaf peeping and getting away from it all. Pick a few favorite spots and plan a road trip between them for a tour of some of the prettiest landscapes you'll find this time of year.
