During National Lake Appreciation Month, You Told Us Your Favorites

On Monday, we started our summer series on lakes, starting with a guide to the nation’s best. We asked you to tell us about yours. We also talk with one listener, Steve Lundt, who is a water quality scientist with the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District in Denver, Colorado. He’s also a certified lake manager with the North American Lake Management Society.

Here & Now’s Robin Young speaks with Lundt about more lakes worth visiting across the U.S.
