Post your #lakefinder pic here! But please do so responsibly by using the “small” option on your Tapatalk menu!!
Rules (which are more like general guidelines [emoji849]):
1. Ride your bike a least a mile to any lake, pond or massive impounded body of water (loosely defined) that is freely accessible to the public
2. Take a picture of said body of water with a bicycle somewhere in the frame & post to either this thread, Strava, or the FS Facebook page, but please include the link here so that photo evidence can be found for verification purposes
3. Hashtag your ride #lakefinder (not CaSe SeNsItIvE) on Strava so that it can be counted on the PP leaderboard (https://freezingsaddles.org/pointless/hashtag/lakefinder ), and include your pic (see 2 above, and remember to post the link here)
4. #Lakefinder is limited to two per day, each as a separate ride if you want them to be counted on the PP leaderboard, and posted within 72 hours, so as to allow all a fair chance to play. Attempts to sandbag or game the competition, especially at the end of FS2021, will be disqualified.
5. I can’t win my own pointless prize, but I can play and post pics, too;-)
Entries will be judged by some faceless cabal on totally subjective criteria that may include use of creative objects (like a bike), composition, light, artistic flair, witty captions, great stories, # of quality submissions, and/or # likes, kudos or dislikes.
Now go find your Lake!

@consularrider, can you provide any evidence that the body of impounded water behind the fence is indeed “freely accessible to the public”?

No, you can’t get inside the fence (like so many of the NYC water supply reservoirs), but we do drink from it at our apartment.
Should I substitute Van Cortlandt Park Lake from yesterday’s ride? Not a great photo, more of the snow pile in the parking lot, but at least it’s not fenced off. I also had Woodlands Lake along the Old Put at the Great Hunger Memorial near Elmsford in Westchester County, but I only have a photo of the water coming over the dam.[ATTACH=CONFIG]21933[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]21934[/ATTACH]

Well I guess that a snow ⛄️ pile does indeed constitute “impounded water” which is “freely accessible to the public,” so the faceless cabal grants @consularrider his well fought for #lakefinder point!!!!

Found a Lake Placid in Maryland. There’s no olympic oval or mountains nearby but it is serene. It’s in a community perhaps appropriately called Lakeland in the Kentlands as there a few other “lakes” there. Not sure if we also need a sign but it is listed in Google Maps.
