8. Lake Drummond, Great Dismal Swamp, Virginia
That’s not a typo: this lake is actually located in a place called the “Great Dismal Swamp.” Far from dismal, Lake Drummond is a hauntingly beautiful natural landmark and one of only two natural lakes in Virginia. Though the lake is protected as part of a national wildlife refuge area, special fishing and boating opportunities are available in this carefully preserved habitat.
