Get refreshed in Ontario’s Lake County, where outdoor adventures are a way of life four seasons a year. You can snuggle into Carriage Hills Resort and soak in its indoor and outdoor hot tubs, but how can you skip the skiing, fishing from an ice hut, zip lining and the local theater? Sun on a lakefront beach, take a dog sled ride or dine alfresco in a waterfront town. Simple pleasures all year long.

Maple syrup and berry picking. Historic churches and summer theater. It doesn’t get more Norman Rockwell than this. Francestown dates to 1772, and the golf- and tennis-equipped Crotched Mountain Resort brings you the town’s Americana charm — plus access to the Crotched Mountain ski area. The scenic Monadnock region offers summer concerts under the stars, snowshoeing through woods and river kayaking.
