Massachusetts lake ranked among most beautiful in America

ORANGE, Mass. — A lake in Massachusetts has been ranked among the most beautiful in the United States.

Insider recently published a list called the “most beautiful lake in every state,” and a hidden gem in Massachusetts’ Franklin County earned a shoutout.

“Each state has a lake that is more beautiful than the rest,” Insider wrote. For the Bay State, that lake is Lake Mattawa in Orange.

Lake Mattawa is home to year-round trout fishing and stunning fall foliage.

“Largely surrounded by year-round homes and summer cottages, the lake offers swimming as well as a launch for boats,” Insider wrote.

Other lakes in New England that were recognized are as follows:

  • New Hampshire - Lake Winnipesaukee
  • Maine - Echo Lake
  • Vermont - Lake Champlain
  • Connecticut - Lake formed by Saville dam
  • Rhode Island - Bowdish Reservoir
