Low-key lake weekends to reconnect, soak in the sun, paddle out on the lake, and stay up all night around the bonfire.

WEEKENDS AT THE LAKE

Bounce back and forth from the beach, filling up your weekend with perfect summer adventures. Tee off at four golf courses in the area, paddle along the shoreline, and spend evenings on the patio. Laugh together around the campfire. Sun seekers will love boating on the lake, racing go-karts, and wandering the boutiques downtown. Sylvan Lake was made for summer weekends.
