The sunshine season has finally arrived and with it, the opportunity to spend endless hours each weekend relaxing at the lake (should your schedule permit it). There are few better places to kick up your feet, spend time with family and friends, and partake in water sports, than a lake! These magnificent bodies of water, both natural and manmade, exist as the absolute perfect weekend getaway for adventurers of all ages.

As if it couldn't get any better, there is one lake in each state that bears the reputation of being the best around for a variety of factors including surrounding wildlife, water quality, camping, and so much more!

According to a list compiled by Cheapism, the best lake in all of Pennsylvania is Laurel Lake.

Here's what Cheapism detailed about the best lake in the entire state:

"A mountain backdrop and sandy beaches make this a popular spot for families to swim and stay cool, and that goes for migrating families of birds and waterfowl as well. Merganser, Canada geese, and mallard ducks are among the kinds drawn to Pine Grove Furnace State Park and the 25-acre Laurel Lake. But they don't appreciate the Appalachian Trail Museum as much as humans do."
