recreational lakes

Places for boating

Recreational lakes are bodies of water used primarily for leisure activities such as swimming, boating, fishing, and waterskiing.

These may be natural lakes or artificial reservoirs that have been developed or designated for public enjoyment rather than industrial or agricultural purposes.

Many communities build amenities around recreational lakes, including beaches, boat launches, and picnic areas.

We spent every summer weekend at the recreational lake outside town.
