For me this is where it's at. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlyle_Lake. There's bigger lakes like Shelbyville and Rend, but they have sand bars and Ndebele are further. This place is only 60 miles from me and IMO is the best.

We have three nice boating lakes close to the city here.
Grand Lake is the biggest and deepest, but Porters Lake and Lake Charlotte, although long and somewhat narrow, are very pretty to boat on.
My favourite lake in Nova Scotia has to be the Bras d'Or Lakes... about 130 road miles from here, or less by sea.
