The Cabela's Canoe is a nice sturdy/light version.  I have the 12 ft. and it stears fine, I have used it in lakes and low class rapids in rivers.  It will run you about $600

It depends on your ability level and the type of terrain you're looking for.  Sunday River in Maine has a wide variety, Killington is huge with lots of parks and a 230 ft superpipe, and loads of bump runs. Jay Peak near the Canadian border is Pow loaded and for the more advanced folks. Stowe is an all time favorite-one beginner hill and another for intermediates/advanced. Killington is the closest to where I live and no matter what the conditions, there are always some good riding because of their incredible snowmaking.

We have a good one in Omaha, Nebraska.  Also, there is one in Lincoln too.  You could hit both in a weekend.

New River Gorge in West Virginia is really nice. It's a huge public area with white water rafting, mountain climbing, and resorts. They have all skill levels available.

Appalachian Trail in Massachusetts:\n\nMassachusetts\nview from Mount Greylock in Massachusetts.\nEnlarge\nview from Mount Greylock in Massachusetts.\n\nMassachusetts has 90 miles (145 k) of Trail [12]. This entire section of trail is in western Massachusetts and specifically is within Berkshire County. It summits the highest peak in the Southern Berkshires, Mount Everett (2,602 ft.), then descends to the Housatonic River Valley and skirts the town of Great Barrington. The Trail passes directly through the towns of Dalton and Cheshire, and summits the highest point in the state at 3,491 feet, Mount Greylock. It then quickly descends to the valley within 2 miles of both North Adams and Williamstown, before ascending again to the Vermont state line.

There are beaches along the Chesapeake Bay at Sandy Point. Also you can cross the Bay Bridge to Ocean City, Rehoboth and Bethany Beach. Some people kayak in the Potomac River but you have to be an expert because it is very rough. Deep Creek Lake is very nice and not over run with tourists. I am sure there are other places, too. Check the Baltimore Sun or The Washington Post for recreational sites.

some good sites:\nhttp://www.nature.org/wherewework/northamerica/states/northcarolina/preserves/art10818.html\nhttp://www.winyahrivers.org/bithistory.htm\nhttp://www.horrycountymuseum.org/ex_waccamaw.asp\n\n\n\nexcerpt:\nProbably no other individual feature of Horry County has been as important to the history and development of the area as the Waccamaw River. In 1734 Kingston Township was first surveyed with the town of Kingston (later to become Conway) as its center. The importance of Kingston was its access to the Waccamaw River and through Winyah Bay to the shipping lanes of the Atlantic. Rafting logs on the Waccamaw River required stamina and skill to snake the long rafts of freshly cut cypress and native pines to the great saw mills on the river. Rafters would live on the rafts, building shelters during cold weather and even cooking their meals on the floating logs.

I don't know what you are bringing on your visit. Some places would require a boat. A good place is just south of muncie off st rd 3 toward new castle. A lake called summit lake. there is plenty of places for bank fishing as when as a ramp. This is idle speed only. at the same exit as summit there is a small state owned property called province pond. Its a little growed up for bank fishing but a small ramp for small boats. This is trolling motors only. East of muncie is prairie creek resevour, bigger lake with unlimited speed.
