Love Those Lakes

During each season, there is a different reason to visit a lake. In an area with
frigid winters, lakes usually freeze for part of the winter. Once they freeze thick
enough to guarantee safety, they are fantastic for ice- skating, boot-sliding, or
even ice fishing. After the ice thaws in the spring, a lake is an ideal place to
catch tadpoles, or baby frogs. In the warm summer months, lakes are good
places to go swimming to cool off. It is too cold to swim in most lakes in autumn,
but lakes are still good spots for boating or fishing.
