: Larchwood Lake may not ever be the same again. The story about Larchwood Lake is not that uncommon. Without doing extensive research into possible things that could occur by lowering the lake level, the Larchwood Lake Homeowner’s Association destroyed the very thing they were trying to protect. Carelessness and poor planning are not the only root causes however. There are a number of reasons that led to the degradation of Larchwood Lake that happen to relate to more macro level environmental issues. Those reasons are poorly designed environmental policy created by the E.P.A., poor understanding of lake ecology by the managers of the land, and false confidence in poorly planned ideas. By looking at how these factors contributed to the degradation of the lake, hopefully we will be able to make more ecological sound decisions in the future.

“The Search for the Magic Lake” is a folktale from Ecuador that takes place during the Inca Empire (Cole 767). The story starts by explaining that the emperor’s son is sick and nothing has been able to cure him. Distraught, the emperor goes to a priest and asks what can be done to save his child. The priest tells him that the only thing that can cure the child is water from a magic lake at the end of the world. The king is too old to make the journey himself so he offers a reward to anyone that can bring him the water. One family hears about the reward and the two oldest brothers decide to go on the quest but their father tells them that they need to return by harvest time, the brothers promise and go on their way. Much later the brothers realize that they won’t be able to find the lake in time but they still want the reward so they take water from a random lake and deliver that to their king (Cole 768). The king immediately gives the water to his son but it has no effect. The king goes to a magician and asks why the water isn’t working, the magician reveals that the king has been deceived by the brothers and the king becomes outraged and sentences the brothers to prison. When the family finds out about this the youngest daughter, Sumac, offers to go look for the magic lake in hopes that if she can bring back the water, she can convince the king to free them. With no other option the family sends her to find the water (Cole 769). Two days into her search a few

This summer one scientific thing I did was use a water mat on Lake Winnipesaukee. A water mat is a giant raft that floats on the surface of the water. It's constructed from the same styrofoam type material that a pool noodle is made out of. It is extremely versatile and can be used in many different ways. The way that I enjoyed using it the most was to jump from our pontoon boat onto the mat. I would make my way to the edge of the boat, steady myself, and leap, landing directly on top of the green float. The impact of the jump made my feet feel sore for a few seconds. When I was ready, I would hurdle myself off the mat and climb back onto the boat. While this activity does require a lot of skill, it requires a lot of science as well.

Escape from the bustle, noise and traffic of Hollywood, Florida. Stepping onto the white sands and into the clear waters of John U. Lloyd Beach State Park (now known as Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park) bring family-friendly respite. The quiet, clean, back-to-nature beach with a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean boasts three miles to spread out the blankets, search for beach treasures and more.

On the far Northern border of Dundee Wisconsin, a small Scout Camp was founded in 1946 and a legend was born. This camp was named Long Lake, after the lake upon which it resides, and it would experience its fair share of storms and turmoil over the ensuing years. Some of its visitors only ever viewed it as a mosquito infested swamp while others would go on to call it their second home. To me however, I have always had a love hate relationship with its wooded trails and murky waters, yet I shall always cherish my memories of it in my heart. Regardless, Camp Long Lake is still one of my favorite places to visit with its quaint ecology conservation lodge, the various activities its main waterfront has to offer, and the thrills of sleeping

Lakes: Hickman and Flare: both will continue to stay behind the door per Captain Marquez, were put on secure management by security. Paper work was completed and filed.

In the Mid-1850s a group of trappers ran into a small group of native Americans with a cart of whitefish. They caught it in a long narrow lake. And about 40 years later that lake had a name and a town to match it. This is small town, Whitefish, Montana. It is in the northwest corner of Montana. It has a reputation for being a big tourist town, with a ski resort and the 36 hole golf course. Who wouldn’t want to spend time here. But this town hasn’t always been a big attraction.

Situated in the far southwest corner of Alberta, Waterton Lakes National Park is one of the most distinctive and extraordinary places on the planet. Shaped over centuries by fire, ice, glacier and flood, the park’s ecosystem is so distinctive that it was designated as a biosphere reserve by UNESCO. Birdwatchers, photographers, nature lovers, botanists, etc. gather here for their own reasons and admire the scenic beauty of the place in their own special ways. The hiking here is legendary with several other outdoor activities for the visitors.If you are planning to visit the Waterton National Park, there are plenty of options for accommodation available.

The city of Bullabra is known for having an amazing lake right next to it. The lake has so many uses and it is used many many times in everyday life. Every day the city goes down to the lake to bathe and get clean. They typically just rinse off since there was no soap yet. Every morning before sunrise the fisherman head out onto the lake and catch lots of fresh fish and seafood. Special fisherman even gets seaweed and other plants from the side of the lake and bring them to town to sell. At 1 pm every day all the women in town head down to the lake to wash their laundry. The women dunk their laundry in the water rub away at any dirt or stains and then leave it out to dry on their clotheslines. The most important use of the lake

The Prospect Park lake is the only one of its kind in Brooklyn. It is man-made and roughly 60 acres (equivalent to 45 football fields!). It is located in the southern section of the park near the Parkside Avenue entrances and between Prospect Park West and Ocean Avenue.

Nantahala Lake releases into the Nantahala River, creating one of the nation’s most known whitewater rivers. When the river is considered “on” the rafters and kayakers come to play. The water usually gets released from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., unless copious amounts of rain or special events are running. This brings many tourists to the area, and what better place to stay than a cozy cabin lodge tucked back in the hollers surrounding the beautiful Nantahala Lake?

Our perfect retreat is situated in the alluring forest of Canada near Kesagami Lake. The dense forest withholds an abundance of animals of all variety. The forest drives those who visit to take a step in the astonishing lake that these woods surround. Kesagami Lake is an ideal location for our perfect retreat because it gives visitors an opportunity to get in touch with wildlife by harvesting animals and fishing for a diversity of aquatic animals.

At the end of the dock is a sign that reads; "No Fishing, No Swimming, No Dumping"; a sign that is quite often recognized by all visitors of parks and lakes and as big as the windshield. Around the lake there a hills and valleys around Lake Lavon. $200,00 home are springing up like mad. Retirees, former airline pilots, and people generally burned out on big cities are discovering Lake Lavon. The small lake but the perfect weather, and the safe-quiet atmosphere are drawing people like a cover-up draws Ed Bradly. Without thought or hesitation we smiled and warmly held ourselves in each other arms and slowly sat down together at the end of the dock, put out feet in the water and the water was so cool like melted water from snow (to eat the strawberries we brought). The strawberries were delicious; red, ripped, and plumped; sweetness caressed our mouth with very bite. Some were quite sour, but was washed it away by an ocean of water every time. As supplies ran short she decided to play lazy and had me carry her to watch the people fishing by the dock. Although very distinctive and precise, I was like a bear; very step was heavy and short. To the left side of the dock about 200ft people ware fishing and kid's playing soccer on the field near the lake. By watching them play I remember my childhood, that my mother always took me to the Lake Lavon every weekend to fishing, and now I'm with my girlfriend holding her hand and watching people fishing and
