Summer in Wisconsin offers vacationers a number of delights. Take the town of Sturgeon Bay, for instance. About 45 miles northeast of Green Bay, it's on a peninsula surrounded by the bay and by Lake Michigan, so it's full of maritime and aquatic riches that can be savored from its historic waterfront and charming downtown district. Sturgeon Bay features outdoor festivals, specialty shops, fine restaurants, museums and galleries, parks and picturesque lighthouses.

For the RV vacationer, the best place to base your Wisconsin stay is a mere seven miles north of Sturgeon Bay at Harbour Village Resort. The 270-acre community- designed to accommodate travel trailers, motorhomes or tents, with 222 condo sites, 232 RV sites and nine rentals-also boasts the area's largest water park.

Soap Lake Resort, in central Washington north of Moses Lake, is located on the shores of Soap Lake. A national monument three miles long by a mile and a half wide, the lake reaches a depth of 300 feet.

The water is 87 degrees in the summer and is heavily mineralized and very buoyant, which makes swimming a heady experience and a very safe one. People still proclaim the healing properties of the water, but maybe it's the combination of beauty, activity, relief from crowds and traffic, excellent food and companionship that makes them feel so renewed.

There is good hunting and fishing nearby, as well as Grand Coulee Dam, which is worth a long look and has a whole chain of lakes below it to lure any fisherman. With all the additional amenities of the resort you won't want to leave. For more information call (800) 378-3709 or visit www.whresorts.com.
