Lake. There's less chance of the body washing up to shore if you weigh it down properly.

Yep hard to beat camping on the beach=waking up with the sound of waves and Guls.

I like them both. 8 years ago I moved to a house on the lake and now I don't go camping as much because every day its just like camping.

Lake, but that's assuming that I'm towing a boat.

Lake. Moving water kinda freaks me out.

This question is killing me. I really can't decide.

Lakes have better big-picture scenery, but rivers have more dynamic scenery. I can easily drown in a lake if I fall in, but I'm more likely to fall in at a river. Lakes have gigantic fish that will eat me if I go in the water, but rivers have crocodiles that will eat me on the banks.

I think I would go with a river, but it's really close.

Are there a lot of crocodiles in the rivers of Colorado?

I go where the vegetables are green,
and you can pee into the stream.

I'm waiting for the River Phoenix or Ricki Lake parody thread.

I'm not sure. They're masters of camouflage, you know.

My top choice would probably be a scenic river for fly fishing (and the soothing sounds of rushing water), but I voted for a lake based on the two descriptions you gave. I have no interest in tubing or floating. White water rafting is fun though.

I chose Rivers. Much more in touch with nature on a river.

Secluded mountain lakes. They're dead quiet, except for the birds and the beer cans popping open.
