Check out the Apostle Islands in Wisconsin. If you're up for a long drive, Door County (also WI) can be fun.

The Upper Peninsula of Michigan! Houghton, Hancock, Copper Harbor, Marquette, Ishpeming etc: are all good places to go to beat the heat. The Iron Range of Minnesota or the Boundary Waters might be good as well as Northern Wisconsin. The Northern Lower Peninsula of Michigan also has fairly cool overnight low temperatures even in the summer.

Split Rock Creek near Garretson, SoDak. Very cool water. Very clean. LITERALLY COOL! As far as a cool place to live, SooFoo SoDak takes the cake. Cheap living. Plentfiul jobs. NO STATE INCOME TAX!!!

And if you get bored, SooFoo is ON US90. Just head your vehicle west and be in the adventurous Black Hills in half a day! Get on the road by 7. You are in the Badlands and Black Hills by Noon!

However I would NOT recommend living in Rapid City at the foot of the Black Hills. Poor housing. Hot as hades in the summer. Nothing much to do there, except drive out to the hills in its backyard. So that ain't so bad either, booby!

However the actual coolest place would be Embarrass, Minnesota, where wintertime low temperatures are often the lowest in the entire USA.

Even Embarrass isn't cool in the summertime. It may be cooler than the Twin Cities, but it still gets hot up there in June, July and August.

Oh ya, the Iron Range and the UP will be in the 90s for highs the next few days. That is a decent heat wave for those areas.

I grew up in a small town a half hour away from Embarrass. And yes we break all kinds of cold records up there. Embarrass isn't even a real town really. Just a few scattering of houses here and there. I think there might be a gas station but that's about it.
