Summer isn't over yet! There's still time to treat your family to a cool treat.

USA Today put together a roundup of our country's best ice cream parlors. They asked local travel experts to name one great ice cream shop in each state and the District of Columbia. Here's a sampling of the top 50, and click here for the full story.

Alabama
Founded in 1985 as a roadside fruit stand, Peach Park in Clanton developed such a following of its homemade ice cream, flavored with fresh Chilton County peaches, that had co-owner Frances Gray burning more than a little midnight oil to keep up with demand. Now a full-scale operation selling preserves, from-scratch fried pies and BBQ, it's one of the best Interstate 65 pit stops. 2300 7th St. South.; 205-755-2065

Alaska
Among the homemade flavors that light up patrons' faces at Hot Licks Homemade Ice Cream in Fairbanks is Aurora Borealis raspberry and blueberry pures swirled into super-premium vanilla ice cream. 3453 College Rd. (seasonal) and Chena Pump Plaza; 907-479-7813
Recommended by the Alaska magazine staff

Arkansas
When things heat up in Hot Springs, the locals cool off at Dolce Gelato. Located in a busy shopping center in Arkansas' Spa City rather than on a cobblestone street, Dolce Gelato serves up 36 flavors of house-made Italian ice cream. Try the raspberry. 228 Cornerstone Blvd., Hot Springs; 501-525-6580

Arizona
Salted butter caramel, cheese-course duo and honey lavender aren't your standard flavors, but Sweet Republic believes ice cream is a reflection of our unique personalities. The Scottsdale establishment uses all-natural, farm-fresh ingredients, so there's no need to feel guilty about your sweet indulgence. Even tried-and-true vanilla and chocolate fans will feel they've entered a whole new flavor galaxy. 9160 E. Shea Blvd.; 480-248-6979;
