An Island within a Lake on an Island within a Lake on an Island (2011)
- colanderman 12y agoThere is such a thing in Rhode Island: https://maps.google.com/maps?q=41.916681,-71.411937&ll=41.916665,-71.411916&spn=0.008638,0.013486&num=1&t=h&gl=us&z=17 https://maps.google.com/maps?q=41.916681,-71.411937&ll=41.91... OK, the inner island and lake are man-made (hill in a disused landfill), the middle island is connected by a land bridge, so it's more of a peninsula, the middle lake is really a river and canal, and the outer island is actually North America.

- DaniFong 12y agoOne of my favorite recursive lakes is quite accessible to many on HN, it's at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. http://binged.it/1lLOpk1 http://binged.it/1lLOpk1

- amatix 12y agoAnother in New Zealand, near Wanaka in the South Island: https://goo.gl/maps/ehUzh https://goo.gl/maps/ehUzh - there are some photos in the GMaps gallery too. It's a nice boat trip from Wanaka and a 15 minute walk up the hill.
