Movies give us so much. They provide entertainment, a much-needed escape, education, insight into lives far different from our own. And sometimes, movies also give us a strong sense of wanderlust—whether it's a road trip movie or just a film set a few states away from home.
If you've ever watched The Notebook and longed to roam the quaint streets of Seabrook, or cheered as Forrest Gump made it to Maine on his iconic run, or wanted to recreate Michelle and Barack's date from Southside With You, we've compiled a list of movie filming locations that make the ideal road trip destinations across the United States. Some of these places aren't on the main tourist trail, which only adds to the adventure feel of it all. Happy driving!
