You can stay at the historic Wallowa Lake Lodge, the campground or find lodging in one of many cabins on the river and among the trees. Consider riding the gondola lift to the summit of Mount Howard (8,000 feet) or enjoy interesting activities such as horseback riding, hiking, boating, swimming and fishing. You may also want to visit Old Chief Joseph gravesite at the Nez Perce National Historic Park. Wallowa Lake, Oregon is a gateway to the Hell’s Canyon and incredible Eagle Cap wilderness.
2. Lake Lanier, Georgia

3. Lake Chelan, Washington
The longest natural lake in Washington and the 3rd deepest lake in the US, Lake Chelan was formed when a glacier-carved valley flooded, and it’s 1,500 feet deep and 55 miles long. Summer sun, blue skies and clear waters have made Lake Chelan of the best summer-vacation destinations to visit. On the southeast end of the lake, there’s the remote town of Stehekin, which you can reach only by plane or boat. There is plenty to see and do in Stehekin, so consider visiting this town too.
