If you’re looking for a relaxing way to spend a summer day, a lazy river might be just the ticket. While they can be found in many amusement parks, I think they’re even better when surrounded by natural beauty. Lay back and enjoy the views as the water calms and cools you!

But it does have scenic stretches of calm water that are perfect for kayaking, canoeing, and tubing!
