The sunshine season has finally arrived and with it, the opportunity to spend endless hours each weekend relaxing at the lake (should your schedule permit it). There are few better places to kick up your feet, spend time with family and friends, and partake in water sports, than a lake! These magnificent bodies of water, both natural and manmade, exist as the absolute perfect weekend getaway for adventurers of all ages.

As if it couldn't get any better, there is one lake in each state that bears the reputation of being the best around for a variety of factors including surrounding wildlife, water quality, camping, and so much more!

According to a list compiled by Cheapism, the best lake in all of Florida is Lake Kissimmee.

Here's what Cheapism detailed about the best lake in the entire state:

"About 70 miles from Orlando and spanning some 54 square miles, Lake Kissimmee is home to bald eagles, ospreys, white tailed deer, and bobcats. Below its surface are loads of largemouth bass, bluegill, and crappie. Visitors can take advantage of Lake Kissimmee State Park's camping facilities and enjoy its 13 miles of hiking and nature trails."
