The following are the best weekend getaways in the United States. Cheap and best resorts across the country are offered by weekend mini-vacations and getaways. One can get affordable weekend getaways from all corners of the country.

The largest forest preserve in the United States is the Adirondack; it is bigger than Glacier, Olympic, Yosemite and Yellowstone combined. Well placed at an attitude of 4,000 feet above sea level, it prides forty-six peaks with nine of them having rocky alpine summits. Mt. Marcy is 5,344 feet while Mt. McIntyre is 5’112 feet.

For those travelers who might not be into shaving especially on the weekends then Lake Geneva is recommended. The elastic air makes part and parcel of the area’s history just like the lake. Back in the 1870’s Chicago’s meat-packing, chewing gum, and retail barons turned the place into the wealthiest’ playground through the practicing of competitive building of mansions.

Lake Islands is not far away from Port Clinton or Sandusky by ferryboat, but it may seam to be farther. The string of islands only 12miles from Sandusky are wonderful weekend getaways, offering one a different worldly feeling. The movie, “Somewhere”, filmed in Michigan’s Mackinac Island, could easily be said to have taken place in the Lake Erie Islands.

Lastly, one can spend a month in Door County, where the land protrudes from Wisconsin into Lake Michigan and Green Bay, thus trying to get the best place to spend the weekend could be a very tedious task.

With over 250 miles of coastline, varying from smooth beaches to rugged limestone, five state parks, and unique shops and gift boutiques available for visits, one should not be astonished to hear it has been one of the most popular spots in the Midwest for more than a century. In any case, only two countries enjoy a maritime museum.
