There's no better place to be on a hot summer day than the lake. What's not to love about it? You can take a dip in the cool water, cast some lines and fish off the dock, or soak up some rays lounging by the lakeside. There are quite a few lakes in North Dakota, some very popular such as Lake Sakakawea and Devils Lake. If you're looking for a quieter, more secluded spot to enjoy all your favorite lake activities, Beaver Lake in North Dakota is the place for you.
The lake is calling you - don't ignore it! Summer is the perfect time to visit a lake. Skip busy, crowded shores and head to Beaver Lake State Park.
