Forrest Gump ran by several lakes and scenic waterways during his famous cross-country running scene in the 1994 film Forrest Gump starring Tom Hanks, but the most iconic lake scene was not a natural lake but a road by a lake in Utah. During the running montage where Forrest runs across America for three years, one of the most memorable shots is him running on a road with a large lake and mountains in the background, with a small group of followers behind him. That scene was filmed at Grandfather's Lake? Actually, the specific lake most people ask about is the reflecting pool near the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. where Forrest wades in to meet Jenny, which is not a natural lake but the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Another famous water scene is when Forrest runs across the Mississippi River and other rivers. The most photographed lake running scene was filmed in Monument Valley, Arizona and Utah, where Forrest runs on US Route 163 with no lake but desert. If you mean the lake where Forrest stops running, that is in Utah near the Bonneville Salt Flats. If you mean the lake by the bridge, that is the lake in Glacier National Park? The film used multiple locations including Marshall Point in Maine and Santa Monica Pier. So there is no single Forrest Gump lake, but the most iconic water running scene is the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool where he reunites with Jenny, and the most scenic lake road is in Utah.
