A hike is a long walk, usually on a trail that winds through trees, hills, or nature. The woods are a favorite hiking spot because you can spot birds, squirrels, and wild plants along the way.
2. The sun shines bright and hot in July.

A lake is a big pool of fresh water surrounded by land, perfect for swimming, fishing, and boating. Many families spend vacations at lake houses or campgrounds near one.
