Lakes have long been places where human beings gathered to set up their homes and villages.  The presence of water and the food supply within makes it easy for people to live, at least on a smaller scale of population.  Times have changed over the centuries, however, and today lakes are often seen as places of recreation more than places of prime habitation.  Thus, the most beautiful lakes all seem to end up as tourist attractions, filled with luxury hotels and people from all over the world.  Today I present a list of seven lakes, some of them the popular tourist attractions that one might expect, but others remote and protected due to the place they occupy within national parks.  Whether you’re looking for a spot to get away from it all or a place to enjoy a watery vacation that doesn’t involve a crowded beach, there are lakes across the world for all tastes.
