Sailing Lakes
By Nicole Tayleor

There are lakes all over the world for people who want to sail. Different lakes offer different benefits and different challenges. Sailing lakes can be fun and exciting. In North America alone there is the Northwest, Southwest, Northeast, Southeast, and Great Lakes area. If a sailor doesn't have a boat there is no problem as they can be rented. In fact, a yacht can be rented and lived on during a vacation. So, one can travel to their favorite location in which they want to sail and rent a boat.

Northwest Some of the sailing lakes in the northwest, such as Washington and Oregon, are Lake Washington, Lake Union, Lake Sammamish, Detroit Lake, and Devil Lake. There are occasionally blue-green algae advisories. Oregon has a certain type of algae, such as cyanobacteria, that can be toxic and last from days to months.

Northeast Some of the sailing lakes in the northeast, such as Vermont and Main, are Lake Willoughby, Lake Memphremagoa, Lake Champlain, Long Lake, and the Chipnuneticook Lakes. There are many resorts and vacation rental properties around these lakes. After a long day of sailing lakes a sailor can relax on the shore.

Great Lakes The largest lakes in the Great Lakes region are Superior, Michigan, Huron, Ontario, and Erie. There are also numerous smaller sailing lakes in the region. Michigan is covered with lakes, many of them sail worthy, such as Lake Saint Clair, White Lake, and Duck Lake. The Great Lakes require very good sailing skills as they are so large, it is almost like sailing on a sea.

Southeast Some of the sailing lakes in the Southeast, in Florida, are Crystal Lake and Lake Jackson which is 25 feet at it's deepest. In Georgia two of the lakes are Lake Lanier and Harwell which are surrounded by natural habitat and camp grounds. A sailor can sail for a while then get out and explore.

Southwest Sailing lakes in the Southwest are very interesting as many are in the desert. A large and very beautiful lake in Nevada is Lake Mead located only 30 miles southeast of Las Vegas. Apache Lake is located east of Phoenix in Arizona. The colors on the water, at sunset, in the desert, are magnificent.
