Jones Lake
Jones Lake is a quintessential carolina bay (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolina_bay) in Bladen County, North Carolina. This bay always has water -- hence its status as a lake. It has the classic oval shape and has the northwest-southeast orientation. It is surrounded by forested wetlands, which you get a hint of in this photo with the band of trees on the far side of the lake. This particular lake has been included in the Jones Lake State Park. There is a ~5 mile hiking trail around the lake.
