Head to the lake

Few things are more refreshing for body and soul than swimming in a lake or jumping into a swimming hole – for instance, Oneonta Gorge in Mount Hood National Forest in Oregon, where you can luxuriate in the cool waters surrounded by water falls, cliffs, and forests.

Visit a National Park
