Winstonians, prepare for a hot day on Wednesday, June 26. Forecasters with FOX8 WGHP predict temperatures to be in the upper 90s and nearing 100 for most of the day. Luckily, we could see a few showers in the afternoon.
In the meantime, here are some ways to cool off around Winston-Salem:
- Rent a boat or a kayak and launch at Salem Lake until dusk. Kayak rentals cost $4 per hour and jonboats are $6 per day.
- Take the kids to one of these fun splashpads
- Cool off at these public pools — most of them open daily, but you might want to keep track of opening changes throughout the summer.
- Plan a fun getaway at The RiverPark at Cooleemee River Park near Mocksville (just ~45 from downtown Winston-Salem). The water park is known as “The Bullhole” and is perfect to soak up the sun in nature with shaded areas. Entrance costs start at $1.
