Cool places

Naturally staying cool

Day trip destinations with a refreshing feel

Between forests, lakes, and gentle hills, many places await where you can cool down and take a deep breath. Those looking to escape the heat will find plenty of opportunities to refresh themselves at clear swimming lakes and along shady forest paths. 

A coolcation—a blend of cool and vacation—describes a break spent in pleasantly cool, refreshing places instead of summer heat. Rather than crowded beaches, green landscapes, clear waters, and fresh air take center stage.
