This is a classic March activity that no one ever seems to grow out of. Grab your rain boots and head outside to jump in every puddle you can find!

Camping

Camping is a great way to enjoy nature while getting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If you're a beginner, try camping in a campground with all the amenities. As you get more experienced, you can try backcountry camping or even car camping. Some great places to go camping in March include the Grand Canyon and Joshua Tree National Park.

Make a Flower Bouquet

What’s more Spring-like than picking flowers and making a fresh bouquet? Head to your nearest park or garden and pick some of your favorite blooms. Do be sure that it's allowed though--some parks are protected to keep their flowers from being gobbled up!

Bike Riding

Springtime is the perfect time to get out and enjoy the fresh air while biking. The weather is typically mild in March, so it’s a great time to take a ride around your neighborhood or even venture out on some trails.

Fishing

Fishing is a great way to relax and enjoy nature. There's certainly plenty of fish to be caught! Head to your nearest lake or river for a day of fishing. Or if you're feeling adventurous, try fishing in a remote location. Some great fishing destinations in March include the Florida Keys and Kodiak Island in Alaska.

Visit a Local Farm

Farms are a great place to spend an afternoon in March. You can explore the property, learn about farming practices, and even pick up some fresh produce to take home with you.

Some great horseback riding destinations in March include the beaches of Santa Barbara and the mountains of North Carolina.

Kayaking

Kayaking is another great way to enjoy nature while getting some exercise. Kayaking can be enjoyed even if the weather is a little chilly. Be sure to rent or purchase one of those body suits to protect you from the cold waters! Head to your nearest river or lake and spend a day paddling around. Some great kayaking destinations in March include the Apostle Islands in Wisconsin and the canals of Venice, Italy, if you're looking to go all out...
