Lakes Larger Than 5 Hectares
This list is restricted to open bodies of fresh-water over 5 ha in area, because of the difficulty in establishing what is a pond and what is a lake.
It excludes service reservoirs used within the water supply network for the storage of drinking water and excludes water bodies on industrial sites used exclusively for industrial purposes (works ponds).

“While the very inhabitants of New England were thus fabling about the country a hundred miles inland, which was a terra incognita to them,...
