There are plenty of round lakes in Alaska. A not-round lake is probably on the North Slope where prevailing wind causes erosion in a preferential direction, elongating the lakes, most all of them up there.

Not to mention all of the round “lakes” in areas like the Kenai Peninsula that are believed to have formed when big chunks of retreating glaciers broke off, depressed the ground, melted and voila! A round lake!
