Come on in, the water’s fine.
This summer, many pools are closed or operating under a limited status due to COVID-19 safety measures, which means finding a place to cool off and take a dip can be challenging. Thankfully, Mother Nature is here to help. There are plenty of scenic watering holes and lakes within an hour or two of Washington DC that make for a perfect summer day trip. Whether you want to swing on a rope-like Tarzan, swim laps in a fresh-water lake, or get soaked underneath a secret waterfall, these swimming holes are your best bet for summer fun in socially distanced times.
