Well I grew up on a lake in MN and it was so pretty - especially in the summer time. We all had a blast boating, fishing you name it. My favorite lake to visit is Lake Superior in MN. North of Duluth about 30 minutes or so is a place we used to rent out and it was so beautiful as well. Here in AZ it's fun to play at Lake Pleasant and that's only about a 45 minute drive. You're given me an idea - there are other lakes here in AZ that would be fun to visit this summer. Great idea - thanks!

Hmm, I don't know if I have visited many Lake Towns. I haven't even been to Lake Havasu City which is ranked highly by the article you shared. I do own a timeshare out of there though so perhaps I should check it out sometime, haha. It's somewhat close to where Candice A. Donofrio lives.

I haven't been to Lake Tahoe since the early 80's, but I did enjoy it. Interesting that Texas was even on the list, since the majority are man-made except one that is on the border of Louisiana.

I think of skiing when Lake Tahoe is mentioned. I remember skiing from California into Nevada years ago when I visited the area. Deep Creek is the one closest to me.

Just down the road from me, Picton on Lake Ontario which is home to the largest freshwater sandbar in the world, Sandbanks Provincial Park, has sand that stretches nearly 20 kilometers (12 miles), with some of the most beautiful turquoise water you’ll find in Canada.

I hate websites that don't load the entire list at once. GRRRR!!!! Such bad design.
I'm surprised Ojai made the list, it's not really a lake town.

Lake Berryessa was where I partially grew up for the first 19 years of my life. Tahoe is nice, my sister lives 30 minutes east of Tahoe in Gardnerville, NV. but it was a much further drive from the Bay Area and a much colder lake.

We have an abundance of great lake towns in our part of the country.
Lake Tahoe sounds like an amazing lake, and of course with it's proximity to the Ponderosa that adds and extra attraction.

Agreed. However, mine is a little up the lake a little bit, in a NW direction and is Sugar Pine Point on the CA side. https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=510
Also, Lake Louise and Banff in Canada.

Our local Lake Mohave is VERY popular. . . I remember coming here as a kid and it was .50 to get in and no one was ever there, LOL
Now the wait list for a slip is up to 10 YEARS! A boat with a slip draws a high premium! Then you can jet up river to Cottonwood Cove (wonderful, they only let you stay in a houseboat for 90 days max or I'd live there), and to Lake Mead which is in horrible shape - the water levels have been abysmal for years.

My favorite has changed many times over the years John Juarez but currently it's lake Audubon because it's close, clean, and not over populated.

This is timely, my wife and I are looking for a second home on a lake, preferably with year round boating. As a child our family would vacation in Minnesota on one of their 10,000 lakes, then as an adult our family would take our boat to Lake of the Ozarks. I love Lake Tahoe, absolutely beautiful, but even in the warmest months, the water is damn cold. I am leaning towards Reynolds Plantation in Georgia right now and looking forward to a trip their later this year.
