Hi! I’m Steph, founder and owner of Great Lakes Loving.TM Thank you for stopping by the website!

I founded Great Lakes Loving (GLL) on Instagram as a way to share my family’s travels around the Great Lakes. Since starting GLL, it has grown into a community of people—both those local to the region and those interested in visiting—who are passionate about discovering new Great Lakes adventures and destinations.

This website is part travel guide, part blog. From Niagara Falls to Chicago, the icy depths of Lake Superior to the warm shallow waters of Lake Erie, GreatLakesLoving.com covers the entire Great Lakes watershed. I am hoping it will serve as a valuable resource for people interested in traveling around the Great Lakes and discovering new adventures. Above all, we seek to celebrate the beauty and adventure of the Great Lakes. We are glad you are here!
