About Lake Lucerne
Lake Lucerne is in an area that mixes countryside and town life. The lake is completely surrounded by homes and some empty land meant for building. Because it's surrounded by private property, there isn't a public spot where you can go to visit the lake.
What Lives in the Lake?
Since Lake Lucerne is surrounded by private land, there isn't much information available about it. For example, we don't know what kinds of fish or other animals live in the lake. Scientists and local groups often study lakes to learn about their plants and animals, but this hasn't happened much for Lake Lucerne.
