Nevertheless, this was where I found myself on March 21st&#8211; on a 7 am to 12 am road trip from my current home to my hometown to escape the epicenter of COVID-19. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-best-way-to-social-distance\">The Best Way to Social Distance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"953\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_0991-953x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_0991-953x1024.jpg 953w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_0991-279x300.jpg 279w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_0991-768x825.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_0991-1430x1536.jpg 1430w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_0991-1906x2048.jpg 1906w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 953px) 100vw, 953px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we\u2019re all well aware by now, the COVID-19 pandemic has halted all public life in the U.S. We\u2019re in a state of collective grief over the loss of jobs, loved ones, and at the very least, face-to-face connections. In my New York apartment, my three roommates and I were cramped in a small space. Outside, the virus is rampant, and it has hit working-class neighborhoods in the city disproportionately hard. As the situation persists, it isn\u2019t lost on me how fortunate I am to be able to escape to a lakeside retreat. Here on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/alabama\/wilson-lake\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wilson Lake<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Muscle Shoals Alabama, there\u2019s no shortage of natural attractions and open space &#8212; ideal for both social distancing and for reducing stress. If you\u2019re a lake homeowner, you know that a lake house is an ideal getaway from the pressures of everyday life. And in times like these, when \u201ceveryday life\u201d is continuously changing, a lake home provides a much-needed sense of peace and consistency. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-trying-new-things\">Trying New Things<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"769\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_2520-769x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_2520-769x1024.jpeg 769w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_2520-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_2520-768x1022.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_2520-1154x1536.jpeg 1154w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_2520-1539x2048.jpeg 1539w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_2520-scaled.jpeg 1923w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 769px) 100vw, 769px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In my opinion, the best part about quarantining by a lake is the myriad of opportunities that city life doesn\u2019t allow. One advantage of a small-town, nature-filled environment like Muscle Shoals is the proximity to hiking trails. In The Shoals specifically, a well-known hiking hotspot is the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tva.gov\/Environment\/Recreation\/TVA-Trails\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) trails<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Winding around Wilson Lake, these interconnected trails include scenic river views, fields of wildflowers, and long bike paths. Since I was quarantining with two of my best friends, the three of us decided to hit the trails together on a Saturday afternoon. We may have gotten sunburned, but we had a lot of fun. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_2477-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_2477-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_2477-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_2477-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_2477-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_2477-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since living together, the three of us have also taken advantage of our spare time by cooking. Luckily, my two friends both have subscriptions to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cooking.nytimes.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New York Times Cooking<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and we chose a new recipe for every night of the week so that we\u2019d have something exciting to look forward to after a day of work. Many of these recipes were more adventurous than meals I\u2019d make by myself &#8212; I was pleasantly surprised by the anchovies in the pasta pictured above &#8212; but the enthusiasm we shared for trying new dishes, as well as our collaboration in the kitchen, made them worth trying. Additionally, having dinner on a screened porch in the cool nighttime air while listening to crickets sing made the dining experience even more pleasant.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-magnificent-views\">Magnificent Views<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/BC8D2162-D8F7-43B9-A7B9-F57A091E9FE3-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/BC8D2162-D8F7-43B9-A7B9-F57A091E9FE3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/BC8D2162-D8F7-43B9-A7B9-F57A091E9FE3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/BC8D2162-D8F7-43B9-A7B9-F57A091E9FE3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/BC8D2162-D8F7-43B9-A7B9-F57A091E9FE3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/BC8D2162-D8F7-43B9-A7B9-F57A091E9FE3-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/BC8D2162-D8F7-43B9-A7B9-F57A091E9FE3-320x240.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While working from home in my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/new-york\">New York<\/a> apartment, the view out my first-floor window featured a trash bin, a recycling bin, and an occasional tuxedo cat looking for its next meal. At the lake, my breath is consistently taken away whenever I glance up from my laptop. At around 7:30 pm, the lack of buildings in the distance allows the sunset to take center stage in the sky.

Everyone responds differently to stressful situations, and I\u2019ve certainly had down days since quarantine began. However, being at the lake in Muscle Shoals has allowed more opportunities for stress-reducing activities such as spending time in nature, regularly exercising, and simply relaxing. Amid the anxiety, I\u2019m constantly feeling lucky to be here. If you\u2019re considering purchasing a lake home, remember that it\u2019s more than investing in brick and mortar&#8211; it\u2019s investing in a space dedicated to unplugging from stress and engaging with nature. That\u2019s a lifestyle that will always stay relevant, even once quarantine ends. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like anyone who grew up in the American South, I\u2019ve sung along to the classic \u201cWagon Wheel\u201d countless times&#8211; in my kitchen alone, at a bar where a cover band is playing, and at karaoke with friends attempting to harmonize to the chorus.
