Seasons come and go in the Great Lakes area, but the outdoor fun never stops.
During the spring and summer months, boating, golfing and hiking are the activities
of choice. Hunting takes precedent in the Midwest during the fall months. And in the
winter, guests strap on their ice skates and skis, or tour vast stretches of unspoiled
beauty by snowmobile.
Near the shores of Lake Michigan, a pair of Wisconsin resorts offers several opportunities
to get away and play. Resort-style living here means hitting the links, the tennis
courts, the lake - or simply heading out for a scenic hike.
Venture west and you'll find Iowa's great lakes, also known as the "Corridor of Opportunity."
Here, Spirit Lakes offers everything an outdoor enthusiast could possibly want in
a get-back-to-nature getaway: golfing, fishing, boating, ice fishing, cross country
skiing and more.
Four-crown luxury, and more outdoor fun, can be found in Minnesota, where you can
enjoy access to a private lakeside beach or one of Golf Digest's Top 100 courses in
America. Experience all that this region has to offer any time of year. Book your
