When it comes to vacations, many Americans take advantage of the wide variety of lakes across the country. They provide a peaceful location to take in nature’s most gorgeous scenery while enjoying a host of water sports or camping. Travel & Leisure has identified some of the most picturesque lakes to visit. Of course, one of the Great Lakes, Lake Superior, with scenic shores in Minnesota, Michigan, and Illinois, is on the list.
Many of these spots are within a day’s drive for people across the country. Here are 10 more of the country’s favorites:
- Lake Willoughby, Vermont
- Lake George, New York
- Lake Santeelah, North Carolina
- Yellowstone Lake, Wyoming
- Flathead Lake, Montana
- Crater Lake, Oregon
- Lake Tahoe, California/Nevada
- Coddo Lake, Texas/Louisiana
- Mono Lake, California
- Echo Lake, New Hampshire
In particular, older Americans probably have fond memories of days spent camping or staying in a cabin lakeside. No doubt they have their favorites to add to the list.
Council of Seniors Wants Senior Life to Be Fulfilling
Traveling is one of the best parts of retirement. Here at Council of Seniors, we’re dedicated to getting Congress to pass The SAVE Benefits Act. In recent years, the annual Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) has shortchanged seniors. That’s why this legislation is a must.
If we succeed, eligible seniors will be reimbursed the $581 withheld from their benefits.
Please sign our petition without delay. Growing support from you and others can be a game changer in returning this money to seniors.
We’d love for you to connect with us on Facebook and Twitter!
