Custom Search     Banks Lake     I love Banks Lake. There are a bunch of coves, where you can anchor and chill out. The water is pretty warm in July and Aug. It's my favorite place because you can hike, boat, camp, cliff jump, fish and overall just have a sweet little vacation from it all. Says JE Banks Lake is a delightful 42 square mile lake featuring a shoreline of 135 miles.          Map Detailed Map Weather Local weather forecast
