USA Today is running a contest to determine what their readers believe is the best lake in America. A handful of travel gurus pitched their ideas for what constitutes as their ideal lake and websurfers can head on over to their site to vote on their favorite. While we loved most of the waterholes they chose, we noticed some of our favorite lakes were missing from the list. Our members agree, so check out our favorite 5 lakes (in no particular order) in the United States below.

Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
"The color of the lake gradually changed its color, of course due to the
sunlight directing at the best angle and where you view it, from
unattractive dirt green to alluring vivid navy blue." -
