Lake of the Clouds is a beautifully reflective lake up near Lake Superior in Michigan's upper peninsula. Due to the height of the cliffs next to the lake, it is possible to see clouds in the water! This photo was taken in early May when it is still extremely cold! #LakesForLunch

Lake Menomin (lagoslakeid #2359) is located in Menomonie, WI and is classified as a reservoir ('RSVR') via LAGOS. Though not pictured here, Lake Menomin experiences severe algal blooms during the summer months, turning much of the lake water to a bright green. #LakesForLunch

Lake Haiyaha ("high-ya-ha") is tucked away in Rocky Mountain National Park, CO. This 4.6ha lake (#360540) gets its distinct color from fine glacial sediments suspended in the water. If the scenery doesn’t take your breath away, the elevation might (3117m; 10226ft). #LakesForLunch
