Top 10 lakes in the US

Peaceful and beautiful, Lady Bird Lake (above), located in Austin, Texas, allows only non-motorized boats, which makes for a relaxing, quiet day on the lake. When you visit the lake, be sure to take a bit of time to check out Barton Creek, the lake’s famous tributary.

Lake Chelan, a 50.5-mile glacier-fed lake in Washington state, offers deep, clear blue water, and world-class wineries and gourmet restaurants in the surrounding community with a small-town feel.
