The largest lake in the park is Upper Lake Parringshire. It has a river, the Maupina River, which feeds into Lower Lake Parringshire, which is outside of the park, in the suburbs of the city of Parringshire. The Maupina River is famous for it's rapids, one of which is a class V (it is bypassable by two class III's). Other famous lakes include Black Lake, which is nestled in valleys between gigantic mountains, getting little sunlight, comparatively speaking (hence the name). Phantom Lake is where the primary lodging is, and is the closest to the major roads. The smallest lakes are Lake Marcello, Lake Martinazzi, and Upper Starlene Lake.
Part of Heritage Lakes National Park is also deemed a "dark sky park", in which the night sky can be viewed without city light obstruction. As you could probably expect, it's the area farthest away from Parringshire's and New Chandler City's orange glow. The park itself is far in the Nahazzan Desert, with a general viewing area on a hill above the badlands.[/center]

HERITAGE LAKES NATIONAL PARK
Country name
Provincial Republic of New Chandler
Site location
Cameron and Benham Provinces, approx. 45 miles from New Chandler City (about an hour due to tall mountains in the way) and 25 miles from Parringshire (about 30 minutes). Cardinal Route 40 (a major freeway with 4 lanes in each direction) goes through the park a short way horizontally to connect the two cities, and Route 138 (a two lane road, with a few passing lanes) cuts through it north-south, and eventually, into the desert. It serves as the main service road to the park.
Site name
Heritage Lakes
Includes: Benham Lake, Black Lake, Chambers Lake, Cosby Lake, Lake Marcello, Lake Martinazzi, Lake Margarita, Lake Parringshire*, Phantom Lake, Quinn Lake, Starlene Lake*, Mount Grover, Mount Chambers, Mount Kazan, Mount Martinazzi, Mount Tamarackia, Rogue Canyon, Solitaire Canyon, Wayne Canyon, Yellow Talon Canyon, Elrosa Swamp, Phantom Swamp, Sedan Swamp, Black Lake City (village), Grover (village), Starlene (village)
The astericks (*) denote a lake in which part of it is outside of the park.
Site history
Home of a few refugee camps (and three towns) used by the natives when Posillipo had control of New Chandler City and the surrounding area. The Posilliponians couldn't find the villages due to the fact that, until the modern (and expensive) roads came in the 1960's, the desert was the only way in, and it was extremely strenuous, through the natural border of badlands in the area. This also kept Parringshire separated from New Chandler City for a very long time. Ancient natives used to have civilization before Mount Kazan blew, which wiped it out, but also preserved it.
Reasons for inclusion
Stunning beauty under some of the tallest and most famous mountains in New Chandler, between the deep valleys, the swamps, and the picturesque lakes the park is known for. Besides historical beauty, it is home to multiple species endangered in most other places that thrive here in its unique climate.
Applicable criteria
2c (to a point), 3a, 3d
Dangers to the site
Currently, there are no major dangers known. The National Park Association of New Chandler has prevented new major road and railroad construction, and inspects all boats before (to check for algae and invasive species) and after (to check for an exceeded amount of fish caught) leaving the lakes in which they are allowed in.

Lake Martinazzi. Lake Martinazzi DOES NOT allow motorboats or fishing, but DOES allow inspected rafts, kayaks, windsurfing vessels, and sailboats. Lake Martinazzi also is home to a lodge. It's only accessible from an unpaved road over a relatively dangerous mountain pass that connects to a paved road.Country name
