Lake Vermilion is well known as one of the most scenic lakes in the country. Its 40,000 acres stretch for nearly 40 miles across the heart of Minnesota's Arrowhead Region. Bordering the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, and almost completely surrounded by the Superior National Forest, Lake Vermilion is as close as you can get to a wilderness experience while still enjoying unrestricted access and all the amenities and comforts of a first-class resort area.

Lake Vermilion is characterized by both rocky shoreline and sandy beaches; hundreds of small protected bays and large expanses of open water; inhabited areas with services you need and miles of undeveloped forested lakeshore.

The main thing that brings people back to Lake Vermilion year after year is the fishing. Vermilion has features for fishermen not found on other large lakes. There are, literally, hundreds of islands, bays and coves; sunken islands, drop-offs and reefs provide hidden habitat; the lake is well-marked for safe navigation. Minnesota's southern-most Canadian-shield lake gives you a true Northwoods fishing experience.

Lake Vermilion offers lakeside accommodations for every style - from luxurious to rustic, multi-family units to cozy cottages, busy centers of activity to intimate secluded settings.

The 37 resorts, campgrounds, hotels, inns and Bed and Breakfasts of the Lake Vermilion Resort Association invite you to come and experience the natural beauty and hospitality that ARE Lake Vermilion.

Welcome to the Bluegrass, Blues and Barbecue Region of Kentucky, an area of the Commonwealth that is rich in tradition and home to legends.
The region takes its name from the two musical genres and the unique style of cooking that each has their genesis here and has quickly grown to world-famous stature.
Two musical pioneers have called the area home; the music they created shaped not only the local experience but has had a profound impact on American culture. Bill Monroe, born in Rosine, is the Father of Bluegrass Music, having invented this groundbreaking art form in the 1930s. W.C. Handy, known as the Father of the Blues, wrote that his time spent in Henderson greatly influenced the music he would later write.
The region carries on the legacy of these famous founders today. Owensboro is home to the International Bluegrass Museum, and numerous annual bluegrass and blues festivals are celebrated throughout the year.
The region’s barbecue heritage traces to the 1830s, when churches began holding annual barbecues to build community and raise funds. Today, the traditional manner of barbecue continues in the region, with an abundance of church festivals and restaurants slow-cooking mutton, chicken and pork for hours at a time over smoky hickory-wood fires.
Beyond the toe-tapping tunes and mouth-watering foods of the Bluegrass, Blues and Barbecue Region, there are the sights, sounds and smells of the area’s natural beauty for campers, boaters, hikers, bikers and sportsmen of all types. The region’s myriad museums recount the history, art and culture of the area in fascinating detail.

Live the Legend of Cheyenne

Like many western towns, Cheyenne sprang up in the path of the transcontinental railroad in 1867. Nicknamed Hell on Wheels, the rowdy town of railroad workers and soldiers from nearby Fort D.A. Russell was teeming with numerous saloons and burlesque theaters.

Cheyenne did not remain a wild town for long, as a booming livestock industry attracted investment from eastern and foreign cattle barons. In the 1880s, Cheyenne was the wealthiest per capita city in the world.

Today, Cheyenne boasts many attractions that hearken back to its early days. Victorian mansions and historic buildings like the Capitol and Governors' Mansion dominate downtown. The grand Union Pacific Depot is home to a Visitors Center, restaurant, and the Cheyenne Depot Museum.

No matter what time of year you travel here, Tennessee's mild weather offers a comfortable environment for you to enjoy the state. Spring blooms with wildflowers and dogwoods. Summer displays an ideal climate for playing outside. Colorful leaves and cool breezes are delightful occurrences in autumn. And our wintry weather delivers quiet surroundings with occasional dustings of snow.

The state is divided geographically as well as legally into three regions, the state's Grand Divisions: East, Middle and West. Each region of the state furnishes a unique variety of geography. West Tennessee is the most geographically defined of the three regions bordered by the Mississippi River on the west and the Tennessee River on the east with an abundance of smaller rivers and lakes in between.

Middle Tennessee has a little more height with rolling hills and smaller streams. Dome-like geography, the Nashville Basin, surrounds the state's capital Nashville with steep slopes and ridges called the Highland Rim. Moving into the Eastern Time Zone, East Tennessee offers a mountainous region including the Great Smoky Mountains. The Tennessee River makes its way back into this portion of the state after running through the West, dipping down into Alabama and coming back into East Tennessee.

What makes Ithaca unique?

Is it the towering waterfalls, lush ice-age gorges, endless panoramic views?

Is it the hiking, the biking, the boating?

Is it the beauty of Cayuga Lake, the longest of the Finger Lakes?

Perhaps.

But perhaps it's something more. Maybe it's the buzz from Cornell University and Ithaca College. You feel it everywhere-in our museums, our galleries, our many restaurants. You hear it in our theaters, our nightclubs, our festivals. You see it downtown on our pedestrian mall, the Ithaca Commons, where PhDs cross paths with street musicians, and families stroll the solar system on an interactive planet walk.You can't put your finger on it, but there's something special going on here. The bumper stickers say Ithaca is Gorges, but it's more than that. Ithaca is beautiful and smart and always unexpected. It's intense and laid-back and disdainful of convention. Ithaca is Ithaca. There's a vibe here unlike anywhere else in America.

And experiencing it is the only way to discover it.

While days may be whiled away visiting the many Finger Lakes wineries, strolling through the Cornell Campus, the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art designed by I.M. Pei, or hiking the State Parks, the evenings can be spent enjoying a lakeside concert at Taughannock Falls State Park, sipping Finger Lakes wine, or dining alfresco on the Downtown Ithaca Commons while listening to live music. You can then take in professional theatre at the intimate 73 seat Kitchen Theatre or at the Hangar Theatre located in a historic airplane hangar.

Weekends in Ithaca offer a glimpse of the local flair at the Ithaca Farmer's Market on the Cayuga Inlet. There, one can enjoy Cambodian dishes, organic dishes brimming with colorful edible flowers, locally made pottery, jewelry, and of course fresh produce and flowers. Tiohero Tours offer sightseeing tours of the lake Dinner cruises, sunset cruises and brunches are offered by Cayuga Lakes Cruises.

When you are preparing to visit Ithaca, just remember to pack enough for a few days because there is so much to do and see in this eclectic college-town that you'll be compelled to return again and again!

An eclectic and diverse southern town, it’s genteel tradition juxtaposed comfortably alongside the progressive innovation that springs from being the home of Auburn University.

Our world-class golf along the renowned Robert Trent Jones Trail is just one of the reasons Golf Digest named us the #1 Golf City in America and HGTV featured us in their You Should Live Here series.

You’ll also discover a bevy of historic and cultural attractions and an extensive selection of shopping and dining opportunities. With lodging and meeting facilities to suit any taste, Auburn-Opelika is a perfect choice for a relaxing getaway or your company’s next annual conference.

Enjoy the thrill of college football in the crisp autumn air, the sense of peace and renewal found among the blooming dogwoods and azaleas of spring, or the mild atmosphere of our winters and summers where activities abound for just about any interest. Experience the history, heritage, and hospitality that make this a place that – although you may only come to visit – will always feel like home.
