Extended Weekend Getaways As spring unfolds across the country, waterfront destinations begin to shine, making this the perfect time to plan a relaxing escape. In our April issue of Extended Weekend Getaways, we highlight lakeside retreats, scenic river towns, and coastal communities where boating, fishing, and peaceful moments by the water take center stage. Whether you’re looking for a quiet shoreline weekend or an active outdoor adventure, these destinations offer the ideal way to welcome the warmer season.
