We travel the back roads of the wilderness called the Upper Peninsula in search of more Great Getaways. We find lost lakes, beautiful streams and waterfalls to explore.

Great Getaways is a television travel series that spotlights active getaway adventures across the Midwest and Canada with an emphasis on the outdoors. Host Tom O'Boyle travels to a variety of destinations and talks to the locals about vacation and recreation opportunities. Join us as we continue to discover more Great Getaways.

2023 was Great Getaways' 20th year on PBS and along with new shows we brought our viewers an occasional look back at those 20 years of fun. We get mail all the time from folks saying we have been watching you since the beginning and still enjoy every show. We are looking forward to our 21st year in 2024!
