Many people ask what other memorable routes would I recommend. I always ask if they have done the Great Loop?
With over 5,500 miles of waterways, there are many sights and scenes and detours to see and experience - I strongly recommend a Great Loop cruise. You will experience "America".

Here is a recent cruiser's blog about his 2016 Great Loop or portion there of cruise.

What was one (of many) of my favorite GL visits?
Mackinac Island
See above map pin #11
What is it about staying for a week on an island? It’s a natural fit on Mackinac Island. You have an Island where the automobile never replaced the horse and carriage. during the summer months more than 600 horses are at work on the island. You have lodging properties where corporations never replaced family ownership. You have a Revolutionary era Fort where the British couldn’t permanently replace Americans. You have Fudge Stores where box recipes never replaced our 19th Century recipes. You have a place to leave your routine, discover the rhythm of waves and horse-clops and a place that getting to is half the fun.
