Sometimes, coming up with fun lake activities for your next trip to the lake or the ocean can be difficult, and we all overthink it sometimes. So here are 20 different ideas to get your mind going!
1). Go Swimming
This one may be obvious, but it is always fun to swim at the lake or the ocean. Cooling off if the clear water will always be relaxing, and will always be a go-to activity if you can’t quite figure out what to do for fun.
2). Go Fishing
Fishing is a great way to spend your time, and you can even catch your next meal as long as you like fish. Watch out for sun-fish though and always remember to slick you hand down their spines according to the way they are pointing. Unfortunately, we ended up having to learn the hard way. So try to learn from our mistakes so that you can go further, and do better! That’s why OutdoorCampingAdvice exists, we’re here to help you to make your experiences better, and we hope to help you better yourself in the process!
