Summer is officially here, and many around the country are already planning how they want to enjoy the warm weather, from long days spent soaking up the sun to cozy nights listening to crickets chirp and cicadas sing while surrounded by family and friends.
Cosmopolitan knows just how much people enjoy traveling in the summer months and seeing more of the beauty that America has to offer so it compiled a list of the 15 "most underrated summer travel destinations" around the country, "inexpensive spots with fascinating backstories and vibey hangouts just waiting to be discovered."
Among the list of gorgeous state parks in the Northeast to winding highways along the West Coast is one spot in Wisconsin: Door County. Here's what the site had to say:
"You don't have to play your trip to this Wisconsin peninsula around cherry-picking season, but why on Sydney Sweeney's green earth would you not?! Pick you own at Lautenbach's, or just shop all things cherry at their farmer's market (think: cherry chutney, cherry wine, and more). Take your wares and step back in time at the retro Holiday Music Motel before grabbing a scoop or two from old-school ice cream spots like Wilson's Ice Cream Parlor, The Vault, and Door County Ice Cream Factory. If you want to get active, visit Sister Bay Beach for kayak rentals and snack huts galore, but for a quiet beach day, you'll want to board two ferries and take a short walk to the secluded shores of Rock Island State Park."
