I live closest to the ohio river.then the lake and then the upper(northern)atlantic ocean. But if i could live anywhere and make a living i would live next that river/creek in the movie the stand where the old guy is painting a picture while sitting n the bridge when stu comes walking up.

I live about 25 miles from a large man-made lake here in Texas. It is fed by a river. The lake furnishes drinking water for much of the Dallas area but is also a well used recreational lake.
I've said in many answers that I'm a proud Appalachian American, and I live on the Cane River in Western North Carolina. It's a small river, but when I saw the Rio Grande (at several locations), it was sometimes smaller than the Cane. We watch the river go up and down with the rain and snow, it's muddy in the summer rain, and clear in the dry spells. It's warm, it had endangered fresh water mussels in it, an I like to collect the empty shells. This is my husband's childhood home and he hates it, but I appreciate it, just hate that we are so isolated. You have to dry to another county to buy spirits. It's backward, but some good folk. We'll be here a while longer and then we'll be moving on.
Cochiti Lake(west)...if you mean one with water. If not, Santa Fe River (north)is closer, if dry most of the year as is the Galestao River to the south.,
