Lake towns are an amazing getaway for any occasion. Not only do visitors look forward to experiencing these beautiful lakes, but they can check out all these under-the-radar spots have to offer. That can range from unique tourist attractions and nearby parks to downtown sprawls and outdoor adventures. Even if you can't make it to these cozy destinations this year, there's always next year for a potential vacation.
That's why Country Living released a list of the 40 best lake towns in America. The website states, "These all-season lake destinations have plenty to offer anyone who's dreaming up a romantic getaway, as well as those who want a family-friendly destination that'll impress even the teenagers in your family. No matter what type of escape you're looking for, we've found a place that's sure to capture your heart."
A popular village in Washington state was featured on the list, and that honor goes to Leavenworth! Here's why:
"This Bavaria-inspired village is the perfect jumping-off point for a day hike to the breathtakingly-blue Colchuck Lake (be warned—it's a fairly strenuous hike, but absolutely worth it!). Wake up in the Posthotel Leavenworth and take in the view of the Wenatchee River before grabbing a hearty breakfast at Louie's Cafe. Reward yourself post-hike with a giant pretzel and a beer at Rhein Haus, where you can sit overlooking the town's main street."
