\"Crawfish\"

Nothing says summer like a crawfish boil. Photo: iStockphoto<\/p><\/div>\n

Summer, thank goodness, is in full swing, ushering in a host of small-town activities that highlight the season\u2019s best. Whether you\u2019re considering a quick weekend getaway or an impromptu road trip, these timely destinations more than suffice.<\/p>\n

Among the country\u2019s most appealing lake regions is Door County, Wisconsin<\/a>, a peninsula with ample dunes-fringed shorelines and a penchant for fish boils. The dramatic presentation of the latter\u2014which takes cues from Scandinavia\u2014involves simmering hunks of local fish with potatoes. When the fish oil rises to the top of the simply salted water, flames are ignited and a \u201cboil-over\u201d occurs. Among the local go-tos for the feast are Pelletier\u2019s (4199 Main St.,\u00a0Fish Creek, 920-868-3313), and the Old Post Office Restaurant, Edgewater Resort<\/a> (10040 Water Street, Hwy. 42, Post Office Box 128, Ephraim, 920-854-4034).<\/p>\n

If crawfish are your thing, there\u2019s arguably no better joint than Hawk\u2019s (415 Hawks Rd., Rayne, Louisiana, 337-788-3266). The rural eatery has earned a following for its \u201cpurged,\u201d headily seasoned crawfish. Score a hotel in nearby Lafayette<\/a>. Situated on southwestern Louisiana\u2019s Vermilion River, it\u2019s where French, Spanish and Caribbean ancestry meld, and street festivals, spicy po’boys and crawfish etouffee are de rigueur.<\/p>\n

Bigfork, Montana<\/a>, is an artsy option, where summertime Sundays see the Riverbend Concert Series, vendor-laden Big Fork Festival of the Arts in early August and jaunt-worthy Wild Horse Island, reached by chartered boat. Take in the scenery\u2014and tasty prime rib\u2014from the deck at Bigfork Inn (604 Electric Ave., 406-837-6680).\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
