Comment by sheilaaugustine: There's nothing better for our children and their friends than tubing at "the lake" in Minnesota. Sometimes it's more fun jumping off the tube than trying to stay on!

Comment by dmolson3: One of our family's favorite places to enjoy a summer vacation is tubing down the Niobrara River near Valentine, Nebraska. At the end of a hot day, we end our trip at Smith Falls State Park. A half-mile trail leads you back into an area where the air temperature drops rapidly and a cool mist from the waterfall begins to hit your face before you have even arrived at the falls. Smith Falls is the highest waterfall in Nebraska and a very pretty location.

Comment by joshua_osborn: This photo was taken at the beautiful Rawson's Mill in southern Michigan, also known as River Country. This is a tranquil and idyllic place to take a few moments out of a hectic day to be contemplative, take walk or have picnic! It is beautiful, remote and peaceful.
