Show us your Day Trips/Unusual Attractions...
Is there somewhere, within a few hours ride of your location that you have visited and might be of interest to others? Many places get passed by simply because they are not advertised.
I'll start off with this. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but a interesting place to visit

Dozens of small, roadside parks, some with boat ramps, some with camping hook ups, some with riding trails, all along the Suwannee River where it winds through several counties in my area for over 100 miles. Some of the small parks are where cold water springs flow out of the rocks and run into the river. Other parks are where different smaller rivers flow into the Suwannee. Some are state parks, some owned by the county they are in. Some are private and charge a fee for the boat ramps and camping.
Itchetucknee Springs Park offers tube rentals, paddle boards, swimming, diving, has transportarion back to the parking lot after tubing down the river. All very clear, pure spring water that bubbles up from underground caves in the area.

My wife and I visited Van Sant Airport in Bucks County, PA last year. We plan on coming back with a picnic lunch as they have plenty of picnic tables and watch the airplanes take off and land. You can even sign up to ride in an airplane!

We toured the Asylum in 2016 as part of our West Virginia trip. We did Seneca Rocks, Smoke Hole Cavern, and many other cool attractions in WV. The roads there are awesome.
Closest thing to us is Starved Rock State Park - there is some decent riding around and through the park, with nice little towns around to get decent food and drink.

A couple hours north of here is Galena, IL with some really nice roads leading up to it. Rt 20 and Rt 2 have some nice sections. Galena has shops and restaurants lining a main street, and is a biker destination around here. As a matter of fact, my wife and I are staying there Memorial Day weekend, just to get away.
Mississippi Palasades Park is nice. Rt 84 follows the Mississippi river and has nice views.
