22 Gorgeous Lake Towns That You'll Want to Visits As Soon As COVID Passes

Vacations may look different this summer, and probably will for a while, but that doesn't mean you can't start exploring future destinations for when you feel safe to travel again. If you're a fan of the water but don't love the sand that comes with beach towns, the best lake towns in the US may be just what you need. And unlike beach towns, whose main tourist attractions close in the off-season, most lake towns have activities that remain open no matter the season, providing a number of activities for visitors.

With so many lake towns across the country, from California, to Wisconsin, to upstate New York, you won't have to travel far from where you live to find a scenic spot that your significant other or family will absolutely love. Whether you're looking for skiing and snow sports come winter, or hoping to catch some sun and water activities come summer, any one of these towns is the perfect spot for your first trip back post COVID-19.
