These 15 Amazing Lakes In The USA Are A MUST On Your Bucket List

A lakeside view can truly be special. Along these bodies of water, you’ll find the kind of lake towns that have all but single-handedly rendered the word “quaint” a cliche. They’re the stuff of vacation dreams, even if right now dreaming about them is the closest we can get: Idyllic little slices of fudge-fueled paradise where everybody from pontoon-bound revelers to quiet beachcombers finds common ground on the sand.

Glacier National Park is located in Montana on the border between the US and Canada. Here you'll find several worthy lakes including the largest, McDonald Lake, Grinnell Lake, Saint Mary Lake, and Swiftcurrent Lake. This is also reputed to be one of the best spots in the country for backpacking and backcountry hiking. The park's stunning wilderness also includes cozy lodges, glacier peaks, and verdant valleys. Stop in at the nearby resort town of Whitefish, too.
