The Great Lakes were built for adventure. From criss-crossing the Canadian border to enjoying the surrounding metropolis of Chicago or the quaint towns like Duluth, this region has something for everyone. As a whole, the Great Lakes offer endless recreation, with Lake Michigan being in the center of the action. City dwellers can hit the shores directly from Chicago at Oak Street Beach or one of its other 25 beaches. From Grand Rapids, the underrated Saugatuck Dunes State Park makes for an easy day trip. Less than an hour north there's another beach that should make your radar.

Dollywood may not be the country's oldest amusement park, nor as popular and well-known as Disney or Six Flags, but if you're a Dolly Parton fan, it is a must-visit.

But for visitors on July 17, 2024, they had their Dollywood vacation plans put on an abrupt hold: The whole park got shut down after a massive water main break, just about an hour after the park opened for the day.
