Enjoy the Lake!

WHEN IT COMES to choosing leisure activities, many people head to the lake! The water, the beautiful surroundings, the boating, sailing, fishing, and swimming all have a special attraction. And, in some places, other recreation activities would perhaps include water skiing, snorkeling, scuba diving, and riding jet skis. Add to all of this the opportunities for picnics on the shore, observing the birds, and watching the sunsets. The lake offers the chance to enjoy the great outdoors for individuals, families, or other groups. It can be a time to be alone for quiet introspection, or it can be a time of togetherness with others.

Our country offers an abundance of opportunities for enjoying free time at a lake. Every state in the Union has numerous lakes just waiting for people to visit and enjoy! One of these is Stockton Lake, pictured above, located on State Highway 32 near the town of Stockton in southwest Missouri.
