"Tucked in south central Wisconsin, just 3.5 hours north of Chicago and 1.5 hours from Milwaukee, Green Lake has earned the nickname of the 'Hamptons of the Midwest.' Families have been summering there since the 1800s, when the shoreline was dotted with a handful of rustic resorts."

Guests with a valid 2025/2026 season pass can present their pass along with a valid photo ID at a ticket window or Guest Services desk to get a $39 lift ticket.

Lake Superior was named the cleanest in the country thanks to its oxygen rich, clear water and low mineral content, according to a study by Fishbox, a fishing forecast platform. Lake Superior, which flows into Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, is also renowned for its fishing: ice fishing in the winter and summer catches that include bass, salmon, trout, and walleye.

The strongest El Niño signal still looks more likely later in 2026 than at winter's opening, so June behaves more like a bridge month than a fully mature event.

If you could have a trail that went through Warren County and connected with a trail that goes up to Tahawus, then you could connect that to the Albany trail, and you could go all the way from New York City on a multi purpose trail into the heart of the Adirondacks, which would be pretty cool.

This is the wine section. It's giving options. It's giving range," Roy says in the clip, demonstrating the deadpan delivery of Gen Z vernacular that resonated with audiences. The video opens with on-screen text: "When Gen Z Writes the Marketing Script," then dives into popular Gen Z and TikTok phrases, establishing the humorous tone throughout the promotional content.

Heavenly is one of only four ski resorts in the U.S. that you can ride between two states, with lake views in California and views of the Carson Valley in Nevada.

This golden strip of sand, fringed by turquoise waters, is part of the popular Abel Tasman National Park on Tasman Bay (also known as Te Tai-o-Aorere) at the top of the South Island. Awaroa Beach is nothing if not beloved. So much so that in 2016, almost 40,000 Kiwis banded together to buy the beach from a private entity for more than $2 million and donated it to New Zealand's Department of Conservation.

Vermont actually resembles California - not because of its beaches but due to its distinct regions. For example, Burlington correlates to the Bay Area. And in the Northeast Kingdom, where I grew up, we classified everything below White River Junction as 'Southern Vermont.' Down there, half the towns seem to channel Boston or New York City, kind of like Santa Barbara to L.A., which makes the Kingdom something like Humboldt County - rural and spectacular, with a recalcitrant outlaw streak.

Rolling up to one of the UK's best lakeside Airbnbs means mornings peering through the windows as mist rises over the surface, afternoon calm punctuated only by the splash of a rowboat's paddle, and evenings nursing wine glasses as light fades over gently rippling waters. Truly, we're spoiled here in the UK - our little country has a glut of idyllic regions in every nook and cranny and, within them, a wonderful selection of lakeside Airbnbs offering restoration

Killington Ski Resort in Vermont more than earns the nickname "Beast of the East." After all, it's home to the second-highest summit across the entire Green Mountain range. But that's not its only superlative. It's also the largest ski resort on the East Coast, with six mountain peaks, 19 lifts, 155 trails, a half-pipe, and the highest vertical drop in New England at 3,050 feet.

Nestled in the Appalachian foothills near Mentone, Cloudmont Ski & Golf Resort is the southernmost ski area in the eastern United States. With a vertical drop of just 150 feet and two rope tows, Cloudmont runs on snowmaking and sheer stubbornness, opening for a few precious weeks or days each winter.

New Hampshire, like several states in New England, is home to a ton of abandoned and forgotten ski areas. Many of them have completely faded, recognizable only by the slight appearance of a trail or two. Others still have buildings, lift parts, and other lost equipment spread throughout the area. Mount Whittier in West Ossipee, New Hampshire, is one of those abandoned areas that still visible through buildings and gear. Avery Zucco explored the area, finding lift poles, buildings, gear, and much more.

Stretching roughly 23 miles, Lake LBJ is a constant-level lake fed by the Colorado River, offering a markedly different experience from its flashier neighbor to the east. While Austin's Lake Travis has earned a reputation as a party hub, Lake LBJ feels like its calmer, more refined counterpart-unhurried, scenic, and refreshingly serene. From the water, the views unfold effortlessly: sunlight glinting off the water's surface, shoreline homes tucked among the hills, and quiet coves that invite you to slow down. A boat tour makes it easy to take it all in-no effort required beyond sitting back, relaxing, and enjoying the view.

Whitetail Resort is located in Central Pennsylvania and is a legit hidden gem for skiers and snowboarders in the mid-Atlantic region. This ski resort gets seriously underestimated by many. I was travelling from one resort to another, and Whitetail was on the way to my next destination. I almost didn't go because I was on the road for two weeks straight, but I'm so glad I did-it's way better than I expected.
