The following series of photos shows the Elkhorn Lake in Columbia, Maryland. The lake is surrounded by several communities of beautiful townhomes and single family homes. The lake is the first pre-planned artificial lake in the United States, and it maintains its clean water all the year round by intentionally opening at one end to invite constantly flowing fresh stream water into the lake and by making excessive amount of water naturally overflowing over a low dam at the other end. People can get access to it through numerous pathways which connect the communities with the lake. They walk, jog, or bike around the lake through a paved beltway surrounding it. The beltway meets several pathways at different points, leading to many communities of houses near the lake.

Several pavilions such as this stand by the lake
The lake changes its colors as the season and weather change.
Behind the colossal oak trees lie townhomes and single family homes.
The lake has a paved beltway on which lie several benches.
It takes around forty minutes to walk around the beltway.
Above the lake lies a transparent autumn sky.
Upper right hand corner lies a wooden structure floating on the lake, which serves as a fishing pier. Rainbow trout and bluegills, which usually live in clean water, are the two main kinds of fish living in the lake. Every weekend many anglers visit this pier to catch fish.
This is a typical rancher, which is a kind of single family home, nestled in the oak tree forest near the lake.
