My favorite lake
 

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.

Boat is in a slip year-round, and is 10 minutes from the house.

The best lake is always the one where you like to boat. I grew up
spending my summers on Lake Ontario so that has always been memorable
for me. It's very nice there for about 2 months of the summer but it
can be cold and rough even then. We had islands about three miles
out from shore that were slightly out of reach for the small craft
that I had as a kid, and I always lusted after a boat big enough to
safely make that trip. The islands would just dance out there,
slightly out of reach, but on a clear day they looked close enough to
touch. And of course once you finally do it, you aspirations and
horizons move farther out. That has not yet stopped although we've
managed to go to a lot of those places.

Here it's Lake Anna for me. Not very big, but lots of stripers, clean, and deep.
