Best Lake Vacations in the U.S.

"A scenic park lake with steady breezes and waterfront wildlife that makes it excellent for sailing; Bridge Bay Marina on the north shore provides launch ramps, floating docks, and a ranger station for boating permits, and sailors can overnight at special campsites on the roadless south shore. People have been cruising these waters since 1871 when the Hayden Expedition used a sail-powered rowboat to explore the lake." - Joe Yogerst Joe Yogerst Joe Yogerst is a writer, editor, and photographer with over three decades of experience covering travel.
