Maple Lake is a lake in central Polk County, Minnesota, United States, located 2 miles (3.2 km) due south of Mentor and approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Erskine. The name of the lake is taken from the extensive sugar maple tree forest which surrounds it. Even before American settlement of the region, the existence of these extensive hardwood forests in an otherwise treeless open prairie gave the lake a geographic identity. Maple Lake is a natural lake, and is the westernmost significant lake in the Red River Valley of Northwestern Minnesota. The lake appears on 19th century historic maps of the area, and developed as a summer home and resort community as early as 1910. As a result of drought conditions and low inflows during the 1930s, however, the lake nearly dried up. Beginning in 1940 a two-stage Works Progress Administration development project involving the diversion of water from nearby Badger Lake and the Poplar River raised the lake to its current artificially maintained water level. This rejuvenated the resort industry, and the lake remains a popular summer home, recreational watersports and fishing lake, drawing people from eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota as well as other neighboring states.
Maple Lake can refer to a location in North America:
A lake is an area of variable size filled with water, localized in a basin, that is surrounded by land, apart from any river or other outlet that serves to feed or drain the lake. Lakes lie on land and are not part of the ocean (except for sea lochs in Scotland and Ireland), and therefore are distinct from lagoons, and are also larger and deeper than ponds, though there are no official or scientific definitions. Lakes can be contrasted with rivers or streams, which are usually flowing. However most lakes are fed and drained by rivers and streams.
Natural lakes are generally found in mountainous areas, rift zones, and areas with ongoing glaciation. Other lakes are found in endorheic basins or along the courses of mature rivers. In some parts of the world there are many lakes because of chaotic drainage patterns left over from the last Ice Age. All lakes are temporary over geologic time scales, as they will slowly fill in with sediments or spill out of the basin containing them.
Many lakes are artificial and are constructed for industrial or agricultural use, for hydro-electric power generation or domestic water supply, or for aesthetic or recreational purposes.
Acer /ˈeɪsər/ is a genus of trees or shrubs commonly known as maple. There are approximately 128 species, most of which are native to Asia, with a number also appearing in Europe, northern Africa, and North America. Only one species, Acer laurinum, extends to the Southern Hemisphere. The type species of the genus is the sycamore maple, Acer pseudoplatanus, the most common maple species in Europe.
Most maples are trees growing to 10–45 m (33–148 ft) height. Others are shrubs less than 10 metres tall with a number of small trunks originating at ground level. Most species are deciduous, and many are renowned for their autumn leaf colour, but a few in southern Asia and the Mediterranean region are evergreen. Most are shade-tolerant when young and are often riparian, understory, or pioneer species rather than climax overstory trees with a few exceptions such as Sugar Maple. Many of the root systems are typically dense and fibrous, inhibiting the growth of other vegetation underneath them. A few species, notably Acer cappadocicum, frequently produce root sprouts, which can develop into clonal colonies.

Water from Lost Lake drains down one of the many lava tubes scattered throughout the Central Oregon Cascades. The water is most likely seeping into the subsurface below and refilling the massive aquifer that feeds springs on both sides of the Cascades. The story: j.mp/1aXYVBU.

According to the weather forecast, by the time I made it up to Caribou Falls it would be cloudy. Nope, sunny with occasion clouds popping in and out of my shooting time. It was the 4th of July and there were plenty of people hitting the hiking trails. I have been to Caribou Falls back in the 80's and I do not recall whether there were stairs leading down to the base of the falls or not. This time there were stairs and a well maintained path. This is large waterfall in a very deep gorge, but it is worth the hike. Music by Dexter Britain Song: Going Under (Partial) http://dexterbritain.co.uk/

I would like to share my experience of insomnia which I have suffered over the last 5 years. I work as a warehouse supervisor of a company engaged in the field of service delivery since decades ago and everything was normal.

Uporaba naftalana seže unazad 600-700 godina. Poznati svjetski putnik Marco Polo daje jedan od prvih zapisa o ljekovitosti naftalana. Sustavno korištenje naftalana iz Azerbajdžana počelo je krajem 19. stoljeća. Nakon što je 70-tih godina otkriveno nalazište naftenske nafte kod Ivanić Grada -- "kriška nafta", učinjena su brojna usporedna ispitivanja "kriške nafte " i nafte iz Azerbajdžana. Ispitivanjima su utvrđena gotovo ista kemijska i biološka svojstva obje vrste nafte, te isključena njena moguća kancerogena i toksična djelovanja.
