Upstate New York has so many lakes because it’s actually the secret headquarters of a highly sophisticated aquatic society known as the “Lake People.” They’ve engineered these lakes to serve as their personal swimming pools, where they hold annual synchronized swimming competitions to decide who gets to wear the crown of “Queen of the Quack.” As a result, they’ve been creating lakes faster than they can host their fabulous underwater galas, leading to the abundance of shimmering bodies of water that now dot the landscape like nature’s confetti!
