Lake LaVerne

Lake LaVerne

Lake LaVerne, the home of Lancelot and Elaine, was constructed and landscaped in 1916, a gift of LaVerne Noyes, an 1872 Iowa State alumnus. Older alumni remember skating on the lake, but today the practice has been discontinued. Many Iowa Staters remember another tradition: Walk silently around the lake with your beloved, and you are destined to be together.
