If you’re planning on taking a cold plunge in 2024, Lonely Planet highly recommends putting a lake in Alberta on it if you haven’t already.

The travel guidebook publisher recently released its list of best places in the world to take a cold plunge, and Cold Lake in Alberta is the only Canadian spot to make the cut.

“Only once you dive into Alberta’s Cold Lake will you truly understand how appropriate its name is. The frigid water temperature can cure overthinking (and a hangover),” Lonely Planet wrote.

“The water’s cold temperatures might set your heart racing, but little else about this adventure will. It’s an invigorating swim,” the publication added.

Cold Lake is no stranger when it comes to being called the best; it’s also been called one of the best places to go ice fishing in Canada.
