5 Cool U.S. Destinations to Beat the Summer Heat

Covering a stretch of shoreline and 22 islands on Lake Superior at the northern tip of Wisconsin, the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore offers an excellent antidote for muggy Midwestern summers.

Sea caves, 19th-century lighthouses, and the rich culture of the Ojibwe peoples provide a true retreat from the heated rush of summer. Take the ferry to Madeline Island (the largest of the Apostles) and enjoy hiking, shopping, and a night of live music at Tom's Burned Down Cafe, where a 1992 fire destroyed the building but didn't put a stop to the fun. Back on the mainland in Bayfield, enjoy a traditional Wisconsin fish boil at Greunke's Restaurant. Though the national lakeshore is a great destination to visit in summertime, be sure to come back in winter to explore the Mainland Ice Caves, a collection of ethereal caves that occur when the lake freezes over and the water that drips from the rocks turns into needle-like icicles.
