Yes it's true, those of us who live inland have a profound jealousy of people who live by the ocean. We can't imagine being to able enjoy the beach all summer without much hassle. But we do have our lakes. And when things start getting hot, we use them in droves. According to an Environmental Protection Agency lake survey, America has 124,439 lakes, so a day at the lake is in range for most Americans. Sure, we can't surf. But we can ski and tube, and we won't get stung by jellyfish, eaten by sharks, or get our hair fried by salt water.
I've just gotten our boat ready for another season on the lake, and in tribute I put together this playlist of songs by artists who have used the word lake in the name of their band. Great tunes for your day at the lake.
