Although we may be clear of the dog days of summer, many of us are still trying to beat the heat and enjoy what’s left of the summer season. To take advantage of the last weeks of warmer temps and longer days, get out out on the water and paddle, swim, or ride at some of the area’s best recreational facilities that feature water based activities.

Boat, canoe, kayak, or fish while enjoying the scenic views on Mayo Lake.
2) Philpott Lake – Bassett, VA
