Ask the locals for recommendations on other winter activities nearby too. For outside activities while on vacation during the spring or summer months, go walking or hiking, canoeing or kayaking while camping at an approved campground, or go fishing, boating, or boating. Look around for the area’s local playgrounds and parks are for the kids. See if you can rent roller skates or bicycles and ride around a trail or at a local park.
