The Great Lakes Holidays


usa
Holidays to the Great Lakes region of America are filled with exciting cities, sweeping views over mighty lakes, quaint lakeside towns and undiscovered natural wonders.

Cosmopolitan Chicago is the main gateway to the region and this captivating city is certainly worth getting to know before heading off to explore the region. Another vibrant city is Milwaukee; known as ‘Brew City’ for its historic role as the epicentre of America’s beer industry, these days you’ll find plenty of hip microbreweries along with cool bars and nightlife.

Along the shores of the magnificent Great Lakes you’ll find beautiful beaches and even see incredible sand dunes at Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore. Discover charming towns, such as Ephraim and Saugatuck and take the ferry to delightful Mackinac Island.

Trailfinders offers a range of Great Lakes holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to travel around the Great Lakes on a fly drive holiday, take in some the big hitting cities on an escorted tour or use Chicago as the jumping off point for an exciting road trip or rail holiday – they are the perfect people to ask.
