I have installed well points in locations where there is no water within miles. You can drive them most anywhere and draw water. Using a well point allows the water to be filtered more with it going through the soil. If you set a point 20 to 30' from known water such as the lake will be considerably cleaner from being filtered by the soil, however being close to the lake does not guarantee water at a shallow depth.
