Relax by the water on your lake vacation

Activities to Try on Your Lake Vacations
Whether it's Southern Lake Tahoe, California, or Grand Lake, Colorado; the Sierra Nevada and Rocky mountain ranges that surround lakes on the west coast are picture-perfect complements to the clear waters.

1. Guided Lake Tours
Gondolas, hot air balloons, and helicopters are wonderful ways to capture magnificent views of the crystal-blue waters and impressive peaks year-round.
-
2. Fishing Adventures
Whether you're looking to try something new or you're an experienced angler, many tour companies from Bigfork, Montana to Charlevoix, Michigan offer opportunities to get out on the water and try your hand at fly-fishing in the summer or ice-fishing in the winter. Make sure to check state laws to ensure you have the proper license to fish, or stick with reputable tour companies who can sort out the paperwork for you.

3. Lake Vacations for Wine and Food Lovers
If you enjoy the peacefulness of a lake vacation but aren't so keen on spending all of your time in the great outdoors, take advantage of the cultural and culinary attractions that many towns offer for visitors to popular lakes. Seneca, New York is surrounded by over 30 wineries and vineyards where guests can enjoy tastings, and the region is full of restaurants serving meals inspired by locally-sourced ingredients.

4. Arts and Music
The Seneca township hosts a weekly free summer concert series at the Lakefront Park Gazebo. Live music is a staple of many lakeside towns like Put-in-Bay, Ohio, where the arts council promotes local and regional artists throughout summer on the island for all visitors to enjoy.
