Picturesque Lakes
Duration: August 1, 2022 - July 31, 2023


1. Emerald Bay
The bay is on Lake Tahoe at the border of California and Nevada. Trees surround the water as far as the eyes can see. The area is the resting place for many boats, launches and barges used in the lake before the turn of the century, during the heyday of Emerald Bay Resort and used in the construction of Vikingsholm.
✱ Read a book set in California OR where a character scuba dives OR where a house with a name is in the story. Tell us the house's name.

✱ Read a book set in Minnesota OR a LARGE book (500+ pages) OR where a character lives in a lighthouse or is a lighthouse keeper.


3. Crater Lake
The lake is literally a lake in a volcanic crater that filled with water over time. Widely known for its rich blue color and extreme clarity, which averages 102 ft (31m) deep, Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States. The Old Man is a 30-foot mountain hemlock log with three feet exposed above water. It is the focal point of Crater Lake National Park, atop the Cascade Mountain Range in Oregon.
✱ Read a book set in Oregon OR with a 0, 1 or 2 in the page count OR with an "old man" in the story.


4. Lake Powell
Probably the most unique lake in the United States is Lake Powell, a manmade reservoir along the Colorado River at the border of Utah and Arizona. Recreational activities include boating, fishing, waterskiing, jet-skiing, and hiking. Prepared campgrounds can be found at each marina, but many visitors choose to rent a houseboat or bring their own camping equipment, find a secluded spot somewhere in the canyons, and make their own camp.
✱ Read a book set in Arizona OR where a character does any of these activities: boating, camping, fishing, waterskiing, jet-skiing, or hiking OR with a last name in the title.


5. Lake McDonald
It is the largest of the many glacier lakes in Glacier National Park in Montana. The lake was formed by Ice Age glaciers carving out the basin millions of years ago. Built in 1913, the historic Lake McDonald lodge has a picturesque location on the eastern shore of the lake with 82 guest rooms split between the three-story main lodge, a row of cabins, Snyder Hall and the exquisite Cobb House.

7. Lake George
Also located in upstate New York, it's Lake Champlain's more popular neighbor. Lake George is famous for the Narrows, a stretch of the lake with lots of small, rocky islands. Notable landforms include Anthony's Nose, Deer's Leap, Peggy's Point, the Indian Kettles, and Roger's Rock.

8. Lake Michigan
The only metropolitan city-lake on this list is Lake Michigan. While the Chicago lakefront is the most famous stretch of Lake Michigan, the massive body of water borders four states and boasts miles of natural shores.
✱ Read a book set in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, or Michigan OR a book where the setting is a town on a lake OR with a beach on the cover (show cover).

10. Lake Okeechobee
Is also known as Florida's Inland Sea is the largest freshwater lake in the state of Florida. It borders the Everglades of southern Florida.

The lake is enclosed by a 40 feet (12 m) high Herbert Hoover Dike built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers after a hurricane in 1928 breached the old dike, flooding surrounding communities and claiming at least 2,500 lives.
✱ Read a book set in Florida OR with an intact 40 in the page count OR where a hurricane occurs in the story.
