Draw of the Cheap Dollar
Get the most out of the great exchange rate in family-friendly America.
American travel journalist FERNE ARFIN says now is the perfect time to discover more of family-friendly USA.
Americans virtually invented the family holiday and the cheap dollar means this could be the best time in years to take the family across the pond.
These five favourites are packed with plenty to do for everyone from toddlers to grannies.
Lake George
This glacial lake, 32 miles long and three miles wide, sparkles like a gem in New York's Adirondack Mountains, three hours from Manhattan.
Between the busy resort town of Lake George on the south and historic Ticonderoga (it means "between the waters" in Iroquois) on the north, the lake is framed in miles of unspoilt wilderness.
Affordable resorts, campsites and self-catering all around the lake offer opportunities for fishing, canoeing, watersports and motorboat hire.
Better yet, stay on one of 170 islands - 44 have campsites.
The whole family will enjoy The Adirondack National Park
