Houseboating Offers Families a Unique National Park Experience

Tags:

February 2004 - Forever Resorts invites visitors to their destinations in national parks and recreation areas this summer for an unforgettable houseboat vacation, unmatched by others.

In a 2002, 65 million Americans (31% of all U.S. adults) reported taking at least one trip 50 miles or more from home, to visit a state or national park and/or forest.* While the travel industry as a whole suffered in 2002, the great outdoors remained a popular destination for many Americans in 2003. This summer, the numbers are expected to be higher than ever.

A respected leader in houseboat vacation rentals, Forever Resorts has modernized the houseboat to include many comforts you'd expect to find in a vacation home, much less to expect in the out of doors including; TV, stereo, gas grill, full kitchen, queen bedrooms, bathrooms, linens, towels and central air conditioning and heat. Plus, one feature not usually found in vacation homes - a waterslide off the upper deck! Houseboating brings friends and families together in an outdoor setting.

The experience of houseboating goes beyond just the boat. It has become a tradition with many, which weaves the commonplace vacation into vivid memories and experiences of our great parks and recreation areas. From exploring the serenity of the lake to the excitement of playing captain of your own boat, a houseboat vacation provides an outdoor adventure that allows you to reconnect, relax and spend quality time with each other.

Houseboat rentals can be found in many national parks, forests and recreation areas including Lake Mead and Lake Mohave in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Nevada; Lake Amistad National Recreation Area, Texas; Trinity Lake in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, California; Don Pedro Lake, the Sacramento Delta and Lake Oroville, in northern California; and Lake of the Ozarks and Table Rock Lake near Branson, Missouri.
