Visited over two days and did trail B and trail E. Both excellent and breathtaking views. Start as early as you can as it just gets busier. Terrain nice and easy and nota problem.
2. Galovac Lake

Beautiful lake and somewhat less touristy (or at least it seemed that way) than other parts of the park. Easiest to access from Gate 2 (and then after a short ferry ride). Part of the Plitvice Jezera NP experience, so it's sort of a must-see in that regard, but it's also a slightly quieter part of the park as well.
3. Burgeti Lakes

Located just across Kozjak Lake from Entrance 2, Burgeti Lakes will be the first lakes you come across in the Upper Lakes area of the park (if you're using Entrance 2 as your starting point). Beautiful clear (yet also blue--not sure about the chemistry on that one but I reckon it has something to do with algea?) water, as you'll see with all the lakes.

Another beauty, just like the rest of the lakes in Plitvice Jezera NP. Gavanovac Lake is in the Lower Lakes section, so it's most easily (quickly) accessed from Gate 1. Clean, clear, turquoise water through which you can see a fair few fish.

Although the lowest and one of the smallest lakes in this system, it is gorgeous. With the waterfalls flowing both into and out of the lake, it is lovely and not to be missed.
8. Smit's Lake
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 5 reviews
A small, albeit picturesque natural lake characterized by untouched nature and its deep green color. The lake is connected with the legend about a girl who was saved from a dragon by St. George, and the print of a horse’s hoof has been preserved in stone beside the lake.
9. Jarun Lake

Jarun Lake is perfect place in a large city to go running,cycling and as well stop to have a coffee.Around the lake there is an excellent road, the length is about 7 km.This is a nice place to relax with a few cocktails and some friends. Jarun is beautiful and clean. Amazing at night for couples.

If you're entering at Gate 2--and taking the short ferry across to the Upper Lakes area--this will be your second lake. Just as pretty and clear as the rest in the park, though the boardwalk can get a bit congested here depending on what time you go (midday and afternoon).
