Lake life is the good life. I know this for a fact because I’m one of the fortunate people who get to live on a lake year round. If you’ve never experienced lake life for yourself, you’re definitely missing out! In my quest to persuade you to venture out to the lake this summer, I’ve compiled a list of 10 Things You Must Do At The Lake. Come check it out!

If you’ve never experienced lake life for yourself, you’re definitely missing out! In my quest to persuade you to venture out to the lake this summer, I’ve compiled a list of 10 Things You Must Do At The Lake. Come check it out! #lakelife #lakeliving #boatlife #pontoonliving #lakelifestateofmind

It’s really no secret. I openly talk about my love of lake living any chance I get. One of my very first stories ever written on this blog was about how lake life has changed me and my family for the better. Two years later, I stand by that statement even more so. I’m pretty much obsessed with lake life if you couldn’t tell already!

It was hard to just pick 10, but I have compiled a list of 10 Things You Must Do At The Lake to hopefully inspire you to make a trip to the lake this summer. Beaches are fun. Fancy hotels with swimming pools are great. There’s something about lake time, though, that makes my heart go pitter-patter.

Fishing

Our family loves to fish! We are fortunate to live on a lake that is perfect for bass fishing. After a long day of work or school, you’ll likely see one of “The Boys” casting their poles out into the lake right off our dock. It’s one of the ways they calm down after a rough day.

Lake life is the best life. I've created a list of 10 Things You Must Do At The Lake to inspire you to visit the lake this summer! #lakelife #lakelifestateofmindIf we have more time, like on a Sunday morning, you’ll find us heading out on the pontoon in the hunt for some bass. Luckie enjoys it just as much as we do, if not more!

Paddleboarding is such a great water activity to do on the lake. It’s great exercise too! The lake water is calmer than being in the ocean so it’s the perfect place to try it for the first time. Just stay clear of any of the bigger boats!

Kayaking is yet another perfect lake activity to try. Zach loves to take his kayak out with a couple of fishing poles on the back in hopes of catching a mega bass! Like paddleboarding, you’ll find kayaking to be an awesome workout. It’s always nice when you can get in a workout and still have fun while doing it.

We absolutely love our pontoon boat. It really is one of the best investments we’ve made since moving to the lake. Whether we are using it to fish, tube or just for a nice ride around the lake, our pontoon has made our lake life experience that much better! I highly recommend you experience it for yourself.

While on your boat, you absolutely have to go tubing! It is such an exhilarating experience and one that you’ll understand only when trying it for yourself. My one piece of advice is to hold on for dear life because it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

If water sports aren’t your thing, blow up a float and just veg out. We purchased this four-seater float last summer and love it. It even has a cooler in the center if you plan on camping out in it for a while.

When visiting the lake, you must eat at least one meal a day overlooking the water. It takes your dining experience to the next level. Grab a glass of wine and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the water.

I’m fortunate to have a pretty amazing musician at my house! Zach loves sitting on the dock and playing chords on his guitar. No one in your family is musically inclined? No sweat! Grab a radio and play your favorite playlist instead.

A bonfire is a must when visiting the lake. We love to light a bonfire and have a movie night in the backyard. Of course, s’mores are a must at every bonfire so make sure to be equipped with everything you’ll need.

The sunsets on the lake NEVER.GET.OLD. I could literally take pictures of them every day and not get tired of them. Grab a glass of wine, sit on an Adirondack chair, and enjoy the show Mother Nature has in store for you. It’s truly breathtaking.

Lake life is the best life. I've created a list of 10 Things You Must Do At The Lake to inspire you to visit the lake this summer! #lakelife #lakelifestateofmindI can come up with so many amazing reasons but I hope these 10 Things You Must Do At The Lake have convinced you that it’s time to check out lake life for yourself. Don’t you want to see what it’s all about? Are you ready to get into a Lake Life State of Mind yet?

Don’t forget to pack your Perfect Lake Bag for your lake vacation and print the Lake Scavenger Hunt activity for your kiddos to use during your visit! 

Want to remember this? Post these 10 Things You Must Do At The Lake to your favorite Pinterest board!

    I live on Lake Martin in Alabama. And I completely agree with your list. We do all of them from catching bass off our dock to enjoying the lake’s spectacular sunsets. We take the sunset to another level with our sunset dinner cruises. We pick up a pizza and ride out in our pontoon to watch the sunset. We live a good life. Thanks for your article.

      I’m so happy you agree, Karen! You’re 100% right when you say “We live a good life”! I really couldn’t agree more. I love the idea of a pizza night on the pontoon too. I might be doing that in the near future. Thanks so much for reaching out <3

    I live on the lake and I’m totally bored. I don’t swim, I don’t fish, we have a pontoon and my husband just stays indoors and he is the one who wanted to live near water. I’m at lose ends on how to enjoy life. Don’t neighbor due to covid. Need help!

      Hi there! So nice to meet you. Sorry to hear you’re bored at the lake. To better help you, what are some things you normally like to do so I can get a better feel for your personality. Sometimes, the simplest things being done outside while overlooking the lake are my favorite. Reading a book or doing some adult coloring books (they have watercolor ones now too) come to mind but not sure if that’s appealing to you. Let me know what your hobbies are and I’m sure I can come up with a few ideas for you. Thank you for the challenge, btw!

Our kitchen got a little extra love in the form of some Valentine’s Day dish towels and pretty pink flowers. Simple, cheap, and definitely worth the effort to add a little Valentine’s Day cheer to your kitchen space.💗❤️💗❤️
.
On a different note, what’s for dinner in your house tonight? I’m racking my brain trying to think of something. Help!!🤣

Can you spot the pink in this photo?! It’s hard to believe that Valentine’s Day is one month from today. Starting tomorrow, my feed is going to be taken over by hearts, pink, and all things love. For today, I’m just giving you a little tease. I purposely took this picture with my back to my mantle because it’s about to get a Valentine’s Day update and I want it to be a surprise.🥰
.
Anyone else feeling the itch to decorate for The Day of Love?!?!❤️❤️❤️

“Memories at the lake last a lifetime”...i.e. Like when Zach recently went to put the cover on the boat and his phone fell out of his pocket into the water. Or when Patrick thought he was hitting the brake on his friend’s jet ski and it took off like a 🚀 causing chaos. Or when we almost sank our pontoon in the middle of the lake.🤣🤣🤣
.
Lake life is amazing but isn’t always perfect. Any funny bloopers you have of you or your family at the lake, beach, or even the pool? Our family can’t be the only ones...can we??!!🤔
