The US has lakes in pretty much every size and shape imaginable, from small 'ponds' to bodies of water so huge it’s impossible to see from one shore to another. There are lakes shaped like gnarled fingers (New York) and surrounded by wineries, while others are dotted with islands. And, while many of these watery wonders are in national parks, others are in towns or small cities with homes, parks, and beaches hugging their shorelines.
